A 100 gallon black loaf tank for the bed of a pickup or a UTV
The Norwesco 100 gallon black loaf tank, part number 43611B, is a low, flat polyethylene utility tank 41 inches long, 27 inches wide and 30 inches tall, weighing 41 lb empty. The loaf shape keeps the weight low and the top flat, so it rides in a pickup bed, on a UTV rack or on a small trailer without a cradle and without blocking the mirrors. Filled with water it carries 834 lb, within the payload of most half ton trucks with room for a pump. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which covers water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals. The top opening is an 8 inch threaded vented lid; no outlet fitting is listed, so order a bulkhead fitting with it or tell us where you want the drain. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco, Norwesco lists its water tanks under NSF/ANSI 61 (the listing names no models), the service limit is 120 F, and the warranty is 3 years. Black keeps light out, which holds algae back in water that sits in the tank between uses.

Spot spraying, stock water and job site water
A hundred gallons is the sprayer-and-pump size: weed control along a fence line, watering new trees, filling stock troughs in a back pasture, washing down equipment, or carrying water to a job site with no tap. At 41 by 27 inches it sits across a pickup bed with room beside it for a pump and a reel, and at 30 inches tall it clears a tonneau rail on most trucks only when the cover is off, so measure before you order. Strap it down through the moulded recesses, never over the lid, and run the straps tight because a loaf tank that slides is a loaf tank that splits. Our write-up on loaf style utility tanks covers how these tanks are classified on the road and the agricultural exemption that applies to most farm use. The doorway tank sizing guide compares the small portable sizes by job. If you are not sure 100 gallons is enough, the tank sizing calculator and the sizing guide settle it.
What to check before you buy
- The outlet. None is listed with the tank. Most buyers want a bulkhead fitting low in one end for a hose or a pump suction; tell us the size and we fit it, or we send the fitting loose if you would rather drill it where your plumbing lands.
- The lid. An 8 inch threaded vented lid. It takes a fill hose and a pump suction line. The vent lets air in as the pump draws, so never seal it.
- The liquid. Polyethylene handles water, most fertilizers and many common chemicals. If it is a herbicide or a cleaner you are unsure of, tell us before you order.
- The drawing. Norwesco's drawing for 43611B, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, gives the exact footprint and the flat areas where a fitting can go.

One person can carry it off the truck. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP.
