A 2650 gallon baffled white leg tank for hauling liquid on the road
The Norwesco 2650 gallon elliptical leg tank in white with baffles, part number 45360, is a polyethylene transport tank 122 inches long, 88 inches wide and 82 inches tall, weighing 1,054 lb empty. It is built for the trailer: the moulded baffles inside break up the surge of a part load so the liquid stops shoving the truck at every brake and corner, and the white wall shows the level in daylight without climbing up to look. It comes with a 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a 2 inch reducer and a siphon tube as the outlet, and a 22 inch hinged lockable manway on top. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, 12.52 lb per gallon, which covers water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals; 2650 gallons of water weighs 22,101 lb, and a full load at the 1.5 limit is about 33,200 lb. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco, Norwesco holds an NSF/ANSI 61 listing for its tank family (the listing names no individual model), the service limit is 120 F, and Norwesco backs the tank with a 3 year warranty.

On the trailer
Baffles are the reason to buy this tank over a plain leg tank of the same size. A half full tank with nothing inside it moves as one slug: it hits the front wall when you brake and the side wall when you turn, and on a trailer that is a load that steers you. The baffles split that slug into smaller ones that arrive at different times. The tank still needs a deck or a cradle under the full length of the moulded legs, straps through the leg recesses and never over the manway, and running gear rated for the liquid you carry: full of water that is eleven tons, and more than sixteen tons at the 1.5 limit. Our guide to Norwesco applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and the DOT non-roadable trailer rules covers how a tank this size is classified on the road.
What goes in it
Water, liquid fertilizer and the common farm and treatment chemicals that polyethylene handles are the normal loads, up to 1.5 times the weight of water and under 120 F. For heavier liquids, Norwesco's heavy duty 1.9 version of this baffled tank is the black one, part 45366, linked below. Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide before the first load; the entries for urea solution, calcium chloride, phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite are the ones leg tank buyers ask about most. For the volume, use the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide.
Openings and fittings
- Outlet. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with a siphon tube, factory installed, supplied with a 2 inch reducer. Run it at 3 inches for fast unloading or thread the reducer in for 2 inch hose. Support the valve and the first length of hose so the fitting carries liquid, not hardware.
- Manway. A 22 inch hinged lockable manway on top: wide enough to fill from a pump, to inspect the baffles, and to get inside the tank to clean it.
- Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows the outlet and manway positions and the leg layout for cradle and strap planning.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL from the nearest of Norwesco's plants in Fairfield, Texas; Lancaster, Ohio; or St. Bonifacius, Minnesota, as a 122 by 88 by 82 inch load at 1,054 lb. Have a forklift or a loader with wide straps ready; it is not a liftgate load. The freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. At the tailgate, check the part number against 45360 on the bill of lading, look at all the legs, the manway hinge and the outlet fitting for transit damage, and fill the tank with water the first time before it carries anything else.
