The Chem-Tainer 250 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank gives you 250 gallons of vertical liquid storage in a compact 35-inch-diameter footprint that fits through most standard gates and along narrow equipment runs. Built from natural white polyethylene and standing 68 inches tall, this is a straightforward vertical storage tank for general liquid and water storage where a tall, small-footprint tank makes the most of limited floor space.
Will this 250 gallon vertical tank work for your job?
This is a 250-gallon vertical tank measuring 68 inches tall on a 35-inch-diameter base, giving you a 35.0 x 35.0 inch bounding footprint to plan your pad or containment around. Filled with water it carries roughly 2,085 pounds of contents, and the tank is rated to handle contents up to 3,962 pounds at its 1.9 specific-gravity rating. In plain terms, the wall is built for liquids nearly double the weight of water, so for water storage you have substantial structural headroom rather than a tank working at the edge of its rating. The natural white polyethylene lets you read the liquid level through the wall at a glance, so you always know how much you have on hand without a separate gauge. If you are weighing this against other sizes or working out how many gallons your application actually needs, run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
