The Bushman 2650 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in dark green is a polyethylene vertical water tank built for high-volume water storage where a large footprint is acceptable. It stands 80 inches tall on a 102-by-102-inch base and holds 2,650 gallons. Filled with water, the tank and contents reach 22,101 pounds, so the pad and site preparation below it have to carry that full-contents load - that 22,101 lb figure, not the empty tank weight, is the number that drives your foundation work. The tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which means it is engineered for water-weight liquids (1.0 SG) and nothing heavier without stepping up to a higher-rated tank.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank sized for bulk water storage - rural fire reserve, irrigation supply, and rainwater aggregation among them. The 102-inch square footprint is the planning constraint most people miss: confirm you have a level pad at least that wide before ordering. For help matching capacity to your draw and refill rate, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide. If you are setting this up to harvest rainwater, our Bushman rainwater harvesting and first-flush diverter sizing guide covers the inlet side. The technical drawing on this page confirms the port set: one 2-inch bulkhead outlet to tie your plumbing into, and a vented manway up top. Do not cap that manway vent - a sealed tank can collapse or balloon as it fills and drains, and the vent is what prevents it.
How it ships
This is a large tank and moves by LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code. It ships from the nearest Bushman plant to you - either Temecula, California, or Washougal, Washington - so West Coast and Mountain destinations land the best freight. The listed price is the tank price before LTL freight; pull a real freight number from the Freight Cost Estimator before you commit, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it to your ZIP.
The mistake to avoid
The single biggest error on a tank this size is underbuilding the pad. At full water weight the assembly is over 22,000 pounds bearing on a 102-inch square - the ground has to be level, compacted, and able to support the entire base fully, with no overhang at the edge. A tank set on uneven or partially supported ground will distress at the wall and base over time. If this tank is part of a rural fire-protection setup, our guide on fire-water reservoir design and NFPA 22 sizing walks through reserve sizing and freeze protection, and our concrete pad sizing guide covers the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate reuse trains, see our water reuse tank topology guide.
