The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon ASTM Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 8130000N49) is a 2000-gallon polyethylene vertical storage tank built to Snyder's ASTM specification and rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, meaning it carries contents up to 1.5 times the weight of water without exceeding the wall's design basis. It stands 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint, so plan your pad and overhead clearance around those numbers before you order. The black exterior blocks light to slow algae growth, which is why this configuration is a common choice for outdoor water storage, fire-reserve, and general bulk-liquid duty.
Will this tank work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries about 16,680 lb; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it can hold up to 25,020 lb of contents. That weight lands on the 90 x 90 inch base, so the tank needs a level, continuously supported foundation sized for the load — our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground poly tanks. The technical drawing on this page shows the fitting layout: a top flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented lid, and a manway offering 15 inches of access clearance for interior reach, fitting installation, and cleaning during hookup. If you are still deciding between capacities, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
How it compares and where it fits
This is one of three common 2000-gallon vertical storage tank options; our Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon comparison lays out the differences side by side. For fire-protection and rural-reserve planning, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection for a black vertical tank like this one.
The mistake to avoid
Match the tank's 1.5 specific gravity rating to your actual liquid. Water sits at 1.0, so this tank has comfortable margin for plain water storage; heavier liquids approaching or exceeding 1.5 specific gravity would need a tank rated higher, and you should confirm your contents before filling. Leave working headspace above your fill line too — our freeboard sizing walkthrough per ASTM D1998 explains how thermal expansion and density set the real volume you can actually use. Finally, verify the 88-inch height clears any roofline, tank fill line, or building opening on the delivery and install path — the 18-inch top fitting adds to the working height at the very top of the tank.
