Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

Seven feet of tank on an eight foot circle

This is the lowest of Snyder's 2,000 gallon shells: 84 inches tall on a 96 inch circle, so it goes where seven feet of clear height is all there is, with room above the manway for a fill line and a vent. It pays for that with floor space; if the slab is tight and the ceiling is not, the narrower 2,000 gallon shell linked below is the better buy. Crosslinking ties the polymer chains of the wall together, which gives it more resistance to stress cracking and to many chemicals than a standard linear polyethylene wall, so this is the material to choose when the liquid is harder on plastic than water is, even at the standard 1.5 rating. A rotationally moulded tank carries its load on the whole floor, so up to 25,020 lb bears on the full 96 inch circle. Pour the slab to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, with a berm where the liquid is regulated. Strap the empty tank to structure or to anchors in the slab the day it lands. Run the volume against your draw and your delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard advice from the tank sizing guide.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Polyethylene suits water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals, and the crosslinked wall widens that list. The 1.5 rating covers liquids up to one and a half times the weight of water. If yours is heavier, or warmer than 140 F in service, tell us before you order.
2. The outlet. This page lists the manway, not a bottom fitting. Tell us the liquid and the draw-off you want and we will confirm what this tank takes, in what size and material, before anything is drilled.
3. The manway. 18 inch threaded and vented, 84 inches off the pad. A tied-off platform ladder reaches it; a fixed platform is better if anyone opens it weekly. Bring the fill line to the manway.
4. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for this tank is linked under Technical Drawing on this page and shows the manway position and the base.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 400, 96 by 96 by 84 inches on a skid, 420 lb, from Snyder's plant at Chowchilla, California. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. Unload with a forklift and straps under the body, never a sling through the manway. At the tailgate, check the part number against 5050300N40 on the bill of lading and walk round the base for transit damage. Fill it with water the first time, let it stand, and look at the pad edge and the base fitting before the working liquid goes in.
