The Enduraplas 8000 Gallon Green Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV08000G) is a full-scale bulk water reservoir molded from polyethylene, standing 142 inches tall on a 144-inch (12 ft) diameter circular footprint. At 8,000 gallons it is built for high-volume static storage: rural fire-water reserves, irrigation supply, process water holding, and industrial reuse trains. The green color helps limit light penetration and algae growth in outdoor service, and the vertical profile keeps the footprint compact relative to stored volume.
Will it work for your site?
Water at capacity weighs roughly 66,720 pounds in this tank, so the foundation has to come before the fill. A rigid, level, fully supported base is non-negotiable at this size - a poured concrete pad is the standard approach, and our concrete pad sizing guide (ACI 360R-10 framework) walks through the engineering boundary you should hold to. Size the pad to a 144-inch circle, not a square, so anchor points and load are placed correctly. The tank carries a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, which is a structural density margin - full of water it holds about 66,720 pounds, but the pad and site must be engineered to as much as 126,768 pounds if you ever run a heavier compatible liquid at the 1.9 SG limit. That SG number is a load rating only; chemical suitability and gasket material are separate questions to verify before any non-water service. If you are still confirming volume against draw-down and refill rates, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide first.
Fire-water and reuse applications
An 8,000-gallon vertical is a common building block for private fire-protection storage on rural and remote sites, where municipal pressure is unavailable. Our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection, both of which matter if this tank anchors your fire stack. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows how a vertical storage tank this size fits into a quality-banded storage train.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error at this scale is treating fitting and outlet placement as an afterthought. Confirm your inlet, outlet, and vent locations against the technical drawing on this page before you set the pad, because relocating plumbing after a 66,720-pound tank is in place is not practical. Fitting sizes and positions should be confirmed by phone at 866-418-1777 before ordering, and verify local siting and setback rules for above-ground bulk storage in your jurisdiction.
This tank ships by LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP from the nearer Enduraplas plant - Converse, TX or Neche, ND - so a northern-tier buyer is rated from Neche and a southern buyer from Converse rather than defaulting to a single origin.
