The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a 2000-gallon polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and heavy liquid service. It stands 88 inches tall on a roughly 90-inch-diameter round footprint (90 x 90-inch bounding box), and its 1.9 specific-gravity rating puts it near the top of what a poly tank will hold - a meaningful margin above the 1.0 SG of plain water. Molded in black to shield contents from UV and inhibit algae growth, this Snyder vertical tank is a straightforward answer for anyone searching for a durable 2000-gallon black storage tank.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries about 16,680 pounds of contents; at its maximum rated specific gravity it is engineered to hold up to 31,692 pounds. An 88-inch-tall, 90-inch-wide tank concentrating 16,680 lb of water - and up to 31,692 lb at max SG - needs a level, continuous-support base sized for the full-water weight at minimum. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm the tank matches your volume and duty, and for the pad itself our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework. Fitting sizes, outlet placement, and bulkhead details are not listed in the spec sheet - confirm them from the technical drawing on this page or by calling 866-418-1777 before ordering adapters.
The 1.9 SG rating - and the mistake to avoid
The most common error on a heavy-duty vertical tank is treating the specific-gravity rating as headroom you never need. For plain water at 1.0 SG you have a wide safety margin, but that rating exists because heavier liquids exist - and if you ever repurpose this tank for a denser fluid, the 1.9 SG ceiling is a hard limit, not a suggestion. Match your liquid's specific gravity to the tank's rating before you fill, and never assume a water tank can take a denser solution without checking. If your project involves freeboard and thermal expansion, the write-up on ASTM D1998 freeboard and thermal-expansion sizing covers the real usable volume math.
Sizing it against the field
If you are cross-shopping this size, our Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon vertical storage tank comparison lays the three side by side. For rural fire-protection reservoirs, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection where a black tank earns its keep.
