Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Vertical Storage Tank

Seven feet tall, eight feet across

This is the lowest 2000 gallon shell Snyder makes, and the manway opens from the floor. It fits under a mezzanine, a lean-to or a low barn roof where every taller 2000 gallon tank is out, and the fill line and vent still land above the opening. The cost is an eight foot circle of slab, which will not pass a normal door, so the route in is a decision, not an afterthought. The 1.5 wall covers water, rainwater, liquid fertilizer and the common farm and treatment liquids polyethylene handles. For a brine, a concentrate or anything denser than 1.5 times water, use the heavy duty 1.9 rated version of this shell, which we also list. Crosslinked polyethylene gives more chemistry margin than ordinary polyethylene; for anything beyond water and fertilizer, check the liquid in the chemical compatibility guide first. If you are comparing makers at this size, our 2000 gallon vertical tank comparison puts Snyder beside the other two.

Full of water the tank puts 16,680 lb on an eight foot circle, bearing on the whole floor, so the slab must be level and in full contact. Build to our concrete pad sizing guide, and anchor the tank while it is empty even though a low shell barely notices wind. Leave freeboard for thermal expansion rather than filling to the rim; our note on freeboard sizing and the real volume you can actually use has the method. For a rural fire water reserve, read the fire water reservoir design guide. Size the order with the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide.

Openings and what to confirm before you buy

1. Manway. 18 inch threaded vented manway on top: fill line with a dip tube, level sender, and room for a hand and a brush. Size the vent to the delivery pump.
2. Outlet. This listing does not state an installed outlet. Tell us the drain size, material and direction and we will confirm with Snyder what the tank ships with.
3. Temperature. 140 F (60 C) service limit; ambient storage is well inside it.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for this tank is linked on this page under Technical Drawing.
