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
- Bulk liquid storage at SG up to the tank's rating
- Fertilizer and ag-chemical storage at dealers/co-ops
- Industrial process chemicals (verify compatibility first)
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
3-year limited full-replacement. Keep your One Source Plastics order confirmation — it's the warranty-claim trigger. Certifications on file: iapmo-certificate-2024-2029, csa-certificate, fda-resin-status-letter-2020.
When This Product Is the Wrong Choice
- Pressurized service — these are atmospheric-vent-only tanks
- Storing fluid beyond the tank's SG rating — load the wrong density and the walls fail early

Does the 40154 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?
3-year limited full-replacement. 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 1000 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.
