A 200 gallon loaf tank that fits under a bench, in a bed or on a trailer deck
The Norwesco 200 gallon white portable loaf utility tank, part number 43612, is a polyethylene tank 48 inches long, 36 inches wide and 29 inches tall, weighing 60 lb empty. The loaf shape is chosen for its height: at 29 inches it sits in a pickup bed under the rail line, on a trailer deck without blocking the view, under a bench or inside a cabinet, and it is the reason to pick this tank over a taller one of the same capacity. The flat bottom sits square on any flat surface without a cradle. The top carries an 8 inch threaded vented lid. Norwesco rates the tank for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which is 12.52 lb per gallon, and a service limit of 120 F, and backs it with a 3 year limited warranty with full replacement. Full of water it holds 1668 lb; at the 1.5 rating, 2502 lb.

Where this tank goes
Water to a job site, a stock tank or a garden; a rinse tank on a sprayer rig; a drip tank for a hoop house; a reserve under a workbench. The low profile puts the load low, which is what you want on a vehicle, and the cost of that is footprint: 48 by 36 inches carrying up to 1668 lb of water, which is nothing for a slab and a real point load for a half ton pickup, a utility trailer or a timber deck. Check the vehicle's payload before the tank arrives rather than after it is full. On a vehicle, strap it through a frame or around the body with the straps bearing on the shell, never over the lid, and put a rubber mat under it so it cannot walk. Our guide to loaf tanks, the agricultural exemption and DOT classification for farm fleet use covers how a water tank in a truck bed is treated on the road. Polyethylene handles water, most fertilizers and many common chemicals; confirm anything aggressive against the material before you order. For a stationary reserve, read fire water reservoir design for rural sites and rainwater and reuse tank topology. If your project needs certification paperwork for this model, ask us before you order and we will tell you what Norwesco provides.
Openings and fittings
- Lid. An 8 inch threaded vented lid on top, wide enough to fill from a hose and to drop a small submersible pump through. Keep the vent clear; a sealed tank collapses when a pump draws from it.
- Outlet. No fitting is listed with this tank. Tell us the size and the position you need and we will confirm what is available and what you fit yourself; a bulkhead fitting low in the end wall is the usual answer.
- Support. The bottom must be supported across the whole 48 by 36 inch footprint. A flat bottomed polyethylene tank that bridges a gap concentrates its load on the edges of the gap.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank is linked on this page under Technical Drawing, with the lid position and the base profile.
