16-gallon white portable utility tank built for agricultural chemical and fertilizer storage. Manufactured by Norwesco from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 12.5 pounds per gallon. FDA approved for contact with potable water, ensuring safe storage for drinking water and food-grade liquids.
The 16 Gallon Plastic Portable Flat Bottom Utility Tank in White is designed for homeowners, hobbyists, small farms, and mobile applications where compact size matters. At 16 gallons, this is the kind of tank you keep close at hand — on the workbench, mounted to equipment, or tucked in a utility closet. It is compact enough to place anywhere but built to the same standards as tanks ten times its size.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. Rated to 1.5 specific gravity, this tank handles liquids up to 12.5 pounds per gallon — covering the full range of agricultural chemicals, liquid fertilizers, and most industrial solutions. The wall thickness is engineered specifically for this density range. Translucent white walls allow visual level monitoring without opening the tank and reflect sunlight to keep contents cooler. Maximum operating temperature is 120 F / 48 C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 20 inches long by 14 inches wide and 18 inches tall, requiring 1.9 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 9 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.5 SG liquid, expect approximately 209 pounds on the foundation. A flat, level surface is sufficient — no special foundation required. Place on a firm, level surface free of rocks or sharp objects that could damage the tank bottom. Ensure adequate ventilation if stored chemicals produce vapors.
This tank ships without pre-installed fittings, giving you full flexibility to position inlet and outlet connections exactly where your plumbing layout requires. Use polyethylene-compatible bulkhead fittings for all penetrations. The 5" lid accommodates fill lines, vent connections, and basic interior access for inspection. Standard garden hose adapter or direct NPT connection works well for tanks this size.
