The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a 2000-gallon white polyethylene vertical built to ASTM standards for bulk liquid storage, water hauling, and process holding. It stands 88 inches tall and fits within a 90 x 90 inch footprint - the body is a round vertical roughly 90 inches in diameter, so before you commit to a pad, confirm that 90-inch circle clears your slab, doorway, or containment ring. This is a vertical storage tank sized for operations that need real volume in a stable, self-supporting cylinder.
Will it work for your liquid?
The tank body carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, a high rating for a polyethylene vertical and the number that decides whether your liquid is safe to store. Specific gravity is liquid density relative to water: water itself is 1.0, so a 1.9 rating means the wall is built for liquids nearly twice as heavy as water. For plain water service you have substantial margin. Full of water, the contents weigh 16,680 pounds; at the tank's maximum rated 1.9 specific gravity, the contents can reach 31,692 pounds. Those weights are why the pad underneath matters as much as the tank itself - the ground has to carry the full rated load, not just the empty shell. This 2000-gallon vertical is stocked at two plants, so freight is quoted from whichever is closer to your ZIP. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match it to your draw-down and refill cycle before you order.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common error on a vertical this size is under-building the foundation. The contents weight scales with the liquid's specific gravity, and a pad poured for water can fail under a denser product even though the tank wall is rated for it. Match your foundation to the rated contents weight, not the empty tank, and keep the support continuous across the full 90 x 90 inch footprint - a polyethylene vertical needs flat, uniform bearing under the entire base. For any non-water product, confirm both the 1.9 specific gravity headroom and that the fitting gaskets and seals are compatible with that chemical before service - the tank wall rating alone does not cover the elastomer seals. Because this is an HDPE tank, also respect the wall behavior at the vapor space above the liquid line, where saturated headspace conditions drive premature failures that liquid-side inspection routinely misses. Our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace walks through the ASTM D1998 sizing logic operators need to know, and the atmospheric vent capacity calculations guide covers API 2000 venting sizing for verticals in this 1500-to-10000-gallon range so you do not starve or over-pressure the tank during fill and draw.
Fittings, containment, and the technical drawing
Inlet, outlet, and vent ports are configured per the technical drawing on this page - it is the authoritative reference for port locations and sizes, so confirm gasket and bulkhead-fitting sizing against it before you plumb the tank. If the 1.9 specific gravity rating has you planning a denser product, secondary containment and freeboard become the next question; our Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing guide works through ASTM D1998 freeboard, thermal expansion, and the usable volume you actually get inside a double-wall. If instead you are planning a fire-water reservoir or a remote-site supply, our fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection where a polyethylene vertical like this one fits the private fire-protection stack.
