A 26 gallon white utility tank that one person carries and a UPS driver drops at the door
The Norwesco 26 gallon portable flat bottom utility tank in white, part number 43835, is a small polyethylene tank 25 inches long, 18 inches wide and 20 inches tall, weighing 14 lb empty. It is the tank for a sprayer on a utility vehicle, a wash water supply on a truck, a mixing or dosing tank in a shop, or a water reserve on a trailer. It comes with a 3/4 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting as the outlet and a threaded vented lid on top. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which covers water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals; 26 gallons of water weighs about 217 lb, and the heaviest liquid the rating allows brings a full tank to about 325 lb. Norwesco backs it with a 3 year limited warranty with full replacement, per its liquid storage catalog. It ships by UPS, so it arrives like a parcel.

Where it goes
A flat bottom tank needs a flat surface and nothing else: the bed of a side by side, a shelf in a trailer, a bench in a shop. At 25 by 18 inches the footprint is smaller than most toolboxes. Full of water it weighs about 217 lb, which is still a two person lift but well inside what a small vehicle carries. Strap it down across the body, never over the lid, and give the outlet fitting room so a hose does not kink against the wall. For a loaf shape tank on a farm vehicle, the farm fleet DOT classification guide covers the agricultural exemption and how small utility tanks are treated on the road.
What goes in it
Water, spray mixes, liquid fertilizer and the common chemicals that polyethylene handles. Check anything unusual against the material before you fill it, and ask us if the liquid is not one you have put in polyethylene before. White lets you see the level through the wall. For the volume, use the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide; a 26 gallon tank is a good fit for a job that empties it most days, since a small tank that sits half full in the sun grows algae faster than a big one.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 3/4 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed. A 3/4 inch ball valve or a hose barb threads straight into it. That size suits a small pump or a gravity hose; if you want to empty the tank fast, this is not the tank.
- Lid. A threaded vented lid on top. Norwesco's listings give the lid as 8 inches in one place and 5 inches in another, so if the lid size matters to you, for a float or a fill funnel, call us and we will confirm it against the drawing before the order ships.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the outlet position and the lid position.
