Chemical Compatibility & Specific Gravity
Polyethylene tanks have specific gravity ratings. SG 1.0 = water-rated. Higher SG = denser fluid handling. Always match the stored liquid's density to the tank's rating.
| Fluid | SG | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Water, potable | 1.00 | Fully rated |
| Ag liquid fertilizer (10-34-0) | 1.40 | Within rating for SG ≥ 1.5 tanks |
| Saturated brine | 1.20 | Within rating |
| 12.5% sodium hypochlorite (bleach) | 1.20 | Within rating; UV exposure reduces bleach shelf life |
| Sulfuric acid, <30% | 1.25 | Within rating for XLPE tanks only; confirm with our team |
| Diesel fuel, motor oil | 0.85–0.90 | NOT rated — permeation concern |
| Concentrated acids (>30%) or strong solvents | varies | NOT rated — material attack |
For fluids not listed, call 866-418-1777 — we maintain a chemical compatibility chart that cross-references manufacturer material science with real field performance.
Typical Applications
- Above-ground potable water storage (FDA-rated resin required)
- Emergency / disaster reserve water
- Livestock drinking water with gravity-feed to troughs
Installation Checklist
- Install on a flat, level pad extending 6 inches beyond the tank footprint
- Fit a top-vent to prevent vacuum collapse on high-flow draw
- Size overflow fitting at 1.25x the fill rate
- Verify SG rating matches your stored liquid BEFORE filling
- Budget for crane or forklift offload — manual handling above 1,000-gal capacity is not feasible
Shipping & Freight
Ships LTL. Expect a 53-foot delivery truck — confirm road-access clearance.
Warranty & Certifications
1-year limited warranty (2-year on select industrial models). Keep your One Source Plastics order confirmation — it's the warranty-claim trigger. Certifications on file: FDA Approved.
When This Product Is the Wrong Choice
- Storing petroleum or solvents — HDPE permeation is too high for diesel, motor oil, or hydrocarbons
- Pressurized service — these are atmospheric-vent-only tanks

FAQ
Is the Chem-Tainer TC2000IW-NAT in stock?
Stock is split across manufacturer warehouses. We pull current inventory when you add to cart; if regional stock is short you'll see a ship-date estimate before checkout.
How fast does the TC2000IW-NAT ship?
In-stock units typically ship within 3 business days of order confirmation. Out-of-stock units build on a 2-6 week cycle depending on the manufacturer. Call 866-418-1777 for a firm date.
Does the TC2000IW-NAT include fittings?
The base tank ships with the manufacturer's standard fitting package. Upgraded bulkheads, flex connectors, or threaded outlets are separate line items — our team confirms fitment before shipping.
What warranty applies to this tank?
1-year limited warranty (2-year on select industrial models). Keep your order confirmation — it's the claim trigger.
What is the shipping weight and freight class?
Approximately the BC-reported shipping weight. Freight class LTL. At 2000 gallons, residential delivery requires liftgate service (+$75-100 typical).
Can I download the technical drawing?
Yes. The branded View Technical Drawing button above your purchase links to the manufacturer's engineering PDF. Also appears in the Additional Information tab.
