The Snyder Industries 150 Gallon Used Oil Containment Tank is a vertical waste-oil collection vessel built in High Density Linear Polyethylene and rated to 1.9 specific gravity, the rating that lets it safely hold fluids denser than water without overstressing the wall. At 62 inches tall on a 34 x 34 inch footprint, it holds 150 gallons in a compact column that fits tight shop bays, fleet-maintenance corners, and quick-lube back-of-house layouts. The yellow body reads clearly as a containment vessel on the floor, and the integrated level gauge lets you track fill level and schedule pump-outs without opening the tank.
Will it work for your used-oil application?
This is a containment tank, not a water tank, and the 1.9 specific-gravity rating is what makes it suitable for heavier used-oil and waste-oil service. Filled with plain water it carries about 1,251 lb; at its maximum rated contents weight it carries roughly 2,377 lb. That spread of about 1,126 lb between the water figure and the loaded figure is the number that trips up most buyers, so spec the pad, slab, or skid under it to the full 2,377 lb, not the empty shell or the water weight. The 34 x 34 inch footprint with a 62-inch height puts the loaded center of gravity high enough that it needs a flat, level, fully supporting surface. The integrated level gauge gives an at-a-glance volume read during fills and draw-downs without breaking the seal. Run your generation rate and pump-out interval through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 150 gallons is the right size before you commit.
The mistake to avoid
The single most important number on this tank is the 1.9 specific-gravity rating, and 1.9 is a ceiling, not a target. Contents above 1.9 SG need a different, higher-rated vessel - do not push a denser fluid into this one, and do not assume a lower-rated water tank can take the same used-oil duty. The second mistake is at the connections: for used-oil service, the gasket and seal elastomer at every port should be a hydrocarbon-resistant material such as Viton/FKM or nitrile rather than EPDM, so you don't get chemical attack at the fitting rather than the wall. Reference the technical drawing on this page to confirm port and fitting configuration and overall geometry, and verify your fill and draw lines land where the drawing shows them before you set the tank.
Freight and how to order
This containment tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder Industries plant in Marked Tree, AR, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than bundled into the list price. Because every unit ships from that single Arkansas plant, lane cost scales with your distance from Marked Tree - get an exact number to your ZIP with the Freight Cost Estimator before you commit, or call 866-418-1777 and we'll quote the lane, confirm the level-gauge configuration, and line up delivery. If you're pouring a slab first, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through supporting the loaded 2,377 lb correctly.
