2100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank - Natural White (102" x 69"): Complete Buyer's Guide
A 2,100-gallon vertical liquid tank from Norwesco bridging mid-size and bulk chemical storage, a stable low-profile shell in 1.5-specific-gravity polyethylene.
Specifications at a Glance
Every figure below is pulled straight from the live product record for this exact tank — the same data on the product page, so what you read here and what you buy never disagree.
Standards & Materials
- ASTM D1998 — Standard Specification for Polyethylene Upright Storage Tanks. Governs wall-thickness and hydrostatic design for vertical rotomolded poly tanks of this class.
- FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 — Olefin polymers. The food-contact regulation the FDA-grade resin in this tank is compounded to meet.
- Specific gravity rating 1.5 — the tank is engineered for liquids up to 1.5× the density of water (water is about 8.34 lb/gal). Confirm your fluid’s SG before storage.
Product Overview
The 2,100-gallon vertical liquid tank fills the gap between a mid-size farm reservoir and full bulk storage — enough chemistry to service a busy spray operation without committing to a 3,000-gallon foundation. It is built broad and low, 102 inches across and only 69 inches tall, a stable squat profile that keeps a thirteen-ton load near the ground and lets the tank sit comfortably under cover. Empty, the shell is 295 pounds.
The shell is a single seamless molding of virgin linear polyethylene rated to 1.5 specific gravity, good for dense liquids to 12.5 pounds per gallon. The translucent white wall gives you an at-a-glance level and reflects sun to keep contents cooler, and the resin is FDA-compliant for food-grade liquids.
Full at the rated gravity it weighs about 26,566 pounds, so it needs an engineered pad, though a more modest one than the larger tanks. The outlet is a 2-inch fitting with a siphon tube for clean bottom draw, factory-installed and leak-tested, and the 16-inch lid opens the top for inspection. Norwesco's 3-year warranty applies.

Installation and Setup Guide
The 2,100's broad low stance makes it one of the more forgiving large tanks to set, but thirteen tons of chemistry across a 102-inch circle still calls for an engineered pad and a thought toward containment.
Site Preparation
Build a concrete pad at least four inches thick, engineered for the full 26,566-pound load and flat to within a quarter inch across the 102-inch base. The wide footprint spreads the load, which helps, but a level surface is still non-negotiable — a slope on a broad tank drives weight onto one arc of wall. Add containment if the stored chemical warrants it.
Placement and Connections
Leave three feet of clearance to walk the shell and reach the fittings. Plumb the siphon outlet to your transfer pump by the shortest run, using chemical-rated flexible couplings off the fitting, and match every gasket and valve to the chemistry rather than just the thread.
Venting
Size the vent to your peak fill and draw so the broad top neither sucks down nor bulges, and if the chemical off-gasses, use a relief vent rated for that vapor rather than a plain screen.
Maintenance and Long-Term Care
The 2,100 wants the same chemical-tank discipline as its larger siblings, scaled to a more manageable volume — shell, seals, foundation, vent.
Quarterly Inspection Checklist
- Shell and base: walk the 102-inch circumference for bulging, stress whitening, or weeping, hardest on the lower band where hoop stress peaks.
- Seals and outlet: inspect the siphon-outlet gasket and inline valves for chemical attack; hand-snug the fitting, no wrench.
- Foundation and containment: confirm the pad is level and any containment is intact.
- Vent: confirm the relief vent is open and operating.
Cleaning and Chemical Changeover
Decontaminate per the chemical manufacturer's protocol before switching products, capturing and disposing of the rinsate per label and regulation. Triple-rinse with a compatible solution and confirm the incoming chemical against the polyethylene and all seals before refilling — never let an incompatible residue meet the next charge.
UV and Weather Protection
The reflective white wall keeps contents cooler but transmits some light; for algae-prone or light-sensitive chemistry, inspect the wall annually in strong sun and consider shade.
Alternatives and Comparisons
The 2,100 is the right call when 3,000 gallons is more foundation than you want but a smaller tank runs short. Its broad flat bottom stores and transfers efficiently; a cone-bottom of similar volume would drain completely for batch work but stand much taller on a stand. Drop to a 1,500 for a smaller footprint, or move up to the 3,000 for true bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the 2100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank - Natural White (102" x 69") last?
With compatible chemistry, a sound engineered pad, and use within its 1.5 SG and 120 F limits, expect 15 to 20 years. Foundation quality and chemical compatibility are the levers that decide where in that range a given tank lands.
What chemicals can I store in this tank?
With a 1.5 specific gravity rating it stores agricultural chemicals, fertilizers, and industrial solutions of that density, and its resin is FDA-compliant for food-grade liquids. No fuels, solvents, or flammables. Check your chemical, its concentration, and your seals on a compatibility chart before filling.
What kind of foundation does a 2100-gallon tank need?
Full it weighs about 26,566 pounds — thirteen tons — so it needs an engineered concrete pad at least four inches thick, level across the 102-inch base. The broad footprint helps spread the load, but the pad must still be true. Build in containment where the chemical demands it.
Does this tank come with a warranty?
Coverage runs three years from Norwesco for defects in molding, wall integrity, and factory-installed fittings. Excluded are overloading, an inadequate pad, chemical attack, and physical impact. Keep records for any claim.
Can I install this tank underground?
No. This above-ground tank has walls that cannot take soil pressure; burying it risks collapse and voids the warranty. For buried chemical storage, use purpose-built underground tankage.
Buying Considerations
Three checks before ordering: an engineered, level pad for thirteen tons (with containment if needed); a chemical confirmed compatible with the polyethylene and seals at or under 1.5 SG; and a freight plan, since this tank ships LTL by flatbed and needs a forklift to unload. Call us with your site details and we will arrange the delivery.
