A 110 gallon black utility tank low enough to ride in a pickup bed
The Norwesco 110 gallon portable flat bottom utility tank in black, part number 44934, is a polyethylene tank 48 inches long, 35 inches wide and 18 inches tall, weighing 62 lb empty. It is the tank for a pickup bed, a UTV rack or a small trailer: flat on the bottom so it sits on the deck without legs or a cradle, and 18 inches tall so it stays below the bed rails. It has a 1 inch outlet and a 5 inch lid. It is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which Norwesco states as 12.52 lb per gallon; 110 gallons of water weighs 917 lb. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco and the service limit is 120 F. Black keeps light out of the contents, which slows algae in water and protects light sensitive liquids.

On a truck, a UTV or the ground
At 48 by 35 inches the tank sits between the wheel wells of most full size pickups and across the bed of a compact one; measure between the wells before you order, because that gap, not the bed length, is what decides it. At 18 inches tall it rides below the rails, so a tonneau or a cap can usually close over it. Full of water it is 917 lb of water plus the 62 lb tank, which is inside the payload of most half ton trucks but worth checking against the door sticker, and well over what a UTV rack carries, so a UTV load is a part fill. Strap it down at every corner; 110 gallons sliding forward in a stop is a serious load on the cab. For spot spraying, stock water, a wash down tank on a job site or hauling water to a remote garden, this is the size. On the ground it needs a flat, continuous surface under the whole floor; our note on concrete pad sizing for above ground polyethylene tanks covers a permanent setting. On the road, the farm fleet DOT classification guide explains the agricultural exemption and how a portable utility tank is classified.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 1 inch outlet. It suits a small pump, a garden hose adapter or a gravity spigot. A 1 inch drain empties 110 gallons slowly by gravity, so plan on a pump if time matters.
- Lid. A 5 inch lid on top. It is a fill opening, not a manway: wide enough for a hose or a small funnel, not for a hand and a brush, so rinse the tank by swirling and draining.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows where the outlet and the lid sit for planning the hose run and the straps.
Put the valve and any hose fittings on the same order so the tank is ready to use the day it arrives, and keep the first fill to plain water so any problem shows up with something harmless in it.
Sizes nearby
If the tank will travel full on a truck, the baffled versions are the better buy: the 100 gallon flat bottom tank with slosh guard and the 150 gallon flat bottom tank with slosh guard, both in white so you can read the level through the wall. The tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide settle the volume question.
