The Norwesco 100 Gallon Utility Tank (SKU 41460) is a compact polyethylene tank that holds 100 gallons in a 26-inch by 38-inch footprint and stands 26 inches tall, so it slots onto a small pad, a truck bed, or a corner of a shed without eating up floor space. Measure both numbers when you plan placement: 26 x 38 is the base it sits on, and 26 inches is how tall it stands, which matters under a shelf or in a covered bed. It is molded in natural white polyethylene and rated to a specific gravity of 1.5, so it carries liquids denser than water for water hauling, utility storage, and the range of farm and jobsite jobs where you need a portable 100 gallon tank that earns its keep.
Will it work for your job?
Start with weight, because that is what surprises people. Filled with water, the tank and contents come in around 834 pounds; loaded to its full 1.5 specific gravity rating, the contents alone can reach about 1,251 pounds. Plan your stand, pad, or vehicle mounting around that loaded number, not the empty shell. The 26 x 38 inch footprint and 26-inch height keep the center of gravity low, which helps on a trailer or in a pickup, but anything carrying this much weight still needs a flat, fully supported surface underneath. Because freight on an 834-pound shipment is a real line item, it is worth pulling an exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator before you decide. If you are weighing this size against a larger tank, run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide first.
Fittings and configuration
Fitting and outlet details are not specified for this listing, so do not assume a particular bulkhead, outlet size, or plumbing layout from the photos. Before you order, confirm the exact fitting and outlet configuration you need by calling 866-418-1777, and we will verify what this tank ships with so your plumbing plan matches the tank you actually receive.
How it ships
This tank ships by LTL freight from Norwesco's Burnet, Texas plant, quoted live to your ZIP code. Freight on a 100 gallon tank is real money, so get an exact number before you order using the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you. Shipping from Texas keeps transit short and cost down across the South and Central states; the farther the destination, the more the freight, which is the single biggest reason to lock in your quote first.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a utility tank this size is under-building the support and over-trusting the specific gravity number. The 1.5 SG rating tells you the tank wall can structurally hold a denser liquid, but it does not certify chemical compatibility for any particular fluid. If you are storing anything other than water, confirm the fluid against the resin before you fill it. Treat 1.5 as the hard ceiling: this tank is not built for service heavier than 1.5 specific gravity, so if your liquid is denser than that, call us at 866-418-1777 before ordering and we will route you to the right tank. For portable and farm-fleet use, the regulatory side matters too. Our guide on Norwesco portable utility tanks and the 49 CFR 173.5 agricultural exemption walks through DOT classification for farm transport, and the concrete pad sizing guide covers building a base that handles the loaded weight. You can also see the technical drawing on this page for the dimensional layout.
