The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Leg Tank is a 1.9-specific-gravity polyethylene leg tank built to haul dense agricultural and chemical loads down the road. Because freight, not gallons, decides a purchase this size: it ships LTL quoted live to your ZIP from the nearest Snyder plant in our network at Chowchilla, CA or Philippi, WV. Molded-in support legs and securing hoops let the tank ride flat and stable on a trailer or skid, which is why buyers searching for a horizontal tank, leg tank, or horizontal leg tank in the 2000-gallon Snyder class land here. The white tank measures 142 inches long by 84 inches wide by 55 inches high, an 84.0 x 142.0-inch footprint to match against your trailer deck before you order.
Will it work for your load?
This is a 2000-gallon vessel rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, so it carries far heavier liquids than a plain water tank. Full of water, the contents alone weigh 16,680 lb; at the full 1.9 SG rating the tank is engineered to hold up to 31,692 lb of contents. At 1.9 SG this sits at the top of the polyethylene density range, so it is the densest-rated option in this class with no need to shop up. Those numbers drive everything downstream: trailer rating, axle placement, hitch capacity, and the legal weight you can run on the highway. Confirm the loaded weight against your equipment with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit, especially if you are stepping up from a smaller tank. Review the technical drawing on this page for leg spacing, hoop locations, and fitting positions, or call 866-418-1777 to confirm fitting sizes and positions for your application.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is molded from cross-linked polyethylene at a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, which is what supports its use in dense-chemical haul service. Always verify your exact chemical, concentration, and operating temperature against the manufacturer's chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific, and match the fitting and gasket material to the chemical precisely. The most common reason a chemically compatible tank still leaks is the wrong gasket elastomer, so the compatible chemistries below are grouped by what they require.
Viton gasket required: hydrochloric acid at 37% (PVC), hydrofluoric acid at 48% (PP/PVC), hydrofluosilicic acid at 26% (PP/PVC), hydrogen peroxide at 50% (PVC), phosphoric acid at 85% (PVC), sodium hypochlorite below 16.5% (PVC), and sulfuric acid at 98% (CPVC).
Aflas gasket with 316SS fittings: peracetic acid at 30%.
316SS fittings, EPDM gasket: diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at 32.5%, propylene glycol (PP/316SS), and zinc orthophosphate (PP/316SS).
EPDM gasket, PVC/PP fittings: acetic acid at 60% (PP/PVC), aluminum sulfate at 50%, calcium chloride at 40%, ethylene glycol at 100%, ferric chloride at 50%, ferric sulfate at 60%, ferrous sulfate at 20%, magnesium chloride at 30%, polyaluminum chloride, potassium carbonate at 50%, potassium hydroxide saturated, sodium bisulfate (PVC/PP), sodium bisulfite (PVC/PP), sodium carbonate at 30%, sodium thiosulfate at 40%, urea solution at 50%, and ozonated water up to 10 PPM. See the full chemical compatibility reference before ordering.
The mistake to avoid
The costly error on a dense-load leg tank is treating the gasket as an afterthought. An EPDM gasket that is fine for aluminum sulfate or DEF will degrade fast on hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, or sulfuric acid, where Viton is specified, and peracetic acid needs Aflas. Picking the wrong elastomer is the single most common reason a chemically compatible tank still leaks at the fitting. Confirm your liquid's true specific gravity too: this tank is rated to 1.9, but loading near that ceiling puts you near the 31,692 lb contents weight, so size your trailer and tie-downs to the load, not just the gallons.
