The Snyder Industries 1650 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Leg Tank is built for moving liquid, not just storing it. The molded-in legs and securing hoops let you band this tank to a skid, trailer, or flatbed and haul a working load down the road, which is why operators searching for a horizontal leg tank or a Snyder horizontal tank land on this size. It holds 1,650 gallons in a white polyethylene body measuring 142 inches long, 71 inches wide, and 55 inches tall, with a footprint of 71.0 x 142.0 inches that sets the trailer or skid you will need to support it.
Will it work for your load?
This is a high specific-gravity tank rated to 1.9 SG, so it is engineered to carry liquids substantially heavier than water. Full of water, the contents alone weigh 13,761 pounds; the 1.9 SG rating works out to roughly 1.9 times the water weight, which is why the tank is built to hold up to 26,146 pounds of product. Those two numbers are the ones to plan around: size the trailer, axles, and tie-down hardware to the 26,146-pound figure if you intend to run dense chemicals or fertilizer blends, not to the lighter water weight. If you are unsure whether this capacity matches your fill cycle and haul schedule, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide. Fitting options are configured to order, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm the layout for your application, and see the technical drawing on this page for wall and dimensional detail.
Chemical compatibility
This is a 1.9 SG-rated polyethylene tank, and at 1.9 specific gravity it sits at the top of the standard polyethylene SG range, so no higher-SG upgrade is needed for dense-chemical or fertilizer service. Confirm the exact resin and wall construction with us before putting it into chemical service, because the right build depends on the chemical and concentration you are running. Always verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your specific concentration and temperature before committing a tank to service. Most of the chemicals below run PVC fittings with EPDM gaskets; the exceptions are the strong oxidizers and concentrated acids, which step up to CPVC, 316 stainless, Viton, or Aflas. With the correct fittings and gaskets, this tank suits a wide range of dense liquids, including:
- Acetic Acid (60%) — PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate (50%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride (40%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- DEF (32.5%) — 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ethylene Glycol (100%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Chloride (50%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Sulfate (60%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate (20%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Hydrochloric Acid (37%) — PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluoric Acid (48%) — PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%) — PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrogen Peroxide (50%) — PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride (30%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Peracetic Acid (30%) — 316SS fittings, Aflas gaskets
- Phosphoric Acid (85%) — PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Polyaluminum Chloride — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Carbonate (50%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Hydroxide (saturated) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Propylene Glycol — PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfate — PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfite — PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Carbonate (30%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Hypochlorite (<16.5%) — PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate (40%) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sulfuric Acid (98%) — CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Urea Solution (50%) — PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Zinc Orthophosphate — PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM) — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets

The mistake to avoid
The common error on a haul-rated leg tank is sizing the rig to water weight. At 1.9 SG this tank can carry far heavier product, and the molded-in legs and securing hoops are there so you can restrain that load properly. If you are blending or hauling fertilizer, also plan for stratification and proper mixing — see our guides on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer, DOT classification for farm fleet use, and fertilizer-blend tank stratification. For dense spill-containment service, the Snyder Captor double-wall walkthrough covers SPCC 40 CFR 112.
