A 250 gallon black heavy duty vertical tank for outdoor water and heavy liquids
The Snyder Industries 250 gallon ASTM black heavy duty vertical storage tank, part number 5730100N51, is a black polyethylene tank 40 inches in diameter and 69 inches tall, weighing 79 lb empty. The wall is rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, so it takes brines and dense liquids as well as water, and the service limit is 120 F. Full of water it weighs 2,085 lb (250 x 8.34); at the 1.9 rating it carries about 3,962 lb. Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. The black wall blocks light, which keeps algae from starting in stored water. It is moulded at Snyder's Marked Tree, Arkansas plant.

Where the black 250 fits
This tank suits water or a mild liquid kept outdoors that has to stay clean: a water reserve beside a barn, a cabin or a pump house, a rinse water tank at a wash bay, or a collection tank in a small reuse loop. Algae needs light, and a black wall takes the light away. The other half of the job is weight. The 1.9 rating means the same tank can hold a brine or a dense fertilizer without stepping up to a different model. If your system mixes rainwater, grey water or condensate, our article on industrial water reuse tank layouts covers how the storage tanks are arranged. Anything other than water gets checked in our chemical compatibility guide first.
The 120 F limit is the one to watch. A black tank in full summer sun runs warmer than a white one, and the limit applies to the liquid inside. If the contents arrive hot or the site is in the desert, call us before you order.
What to check before you buy
- Fittings. The outlet and lid are not listed on this page. Tell us the outlet size and height you need and we will confirm what comes on 5730100N51.
- Level reading. You cannot see the liquid through a black wall. Plan a sight tube, a float gauge or a dip stick.
- Freeboard. Leave room at the top for expansion when the liquid warms. Our guide to freeboard sizing and usable volume shows how much.
- Base. Up to nearly two tons on a 40 inch circle needs a flat, level, continuous base. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers the slab.
- The drawing. The technical drawing for 5730100N51 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.
