The Snyder Industries 250 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5730100N48) is a black, crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built for heavy-duty water and liquid storage. It holds 250 gallons in a compact 40-inch by 40-inch footprint and stands 69 inches tall, so it fits tight equipment rooms and corners while carrying a serious volume. This is the vertical tank to specify when you want an ASTM XLPE wall rather than standard HDPE, and the black color helps limit algae growth in daylight exposure. Our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE explains when that crosslinked wall earns its keep.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 2,085 pounds of contents; at its full 1.9 specific-gravity rating it is engineered to carry up to about 3,962 pounds of denser liquid. That 1.9 SG rating is why the crosslinked wall matters: it gives you real headroom above plain water duty. Before you set the tank, budget for the full 69-inch height plus clearance above the 14-inch PE threaded/vented top fitting so you can reach the fill point. The tank ships with a flange fitting, that 14-inch polyethylene threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 11-3/8-inch access — that access diameter is the real number to check if you plan to reach in with a hand, hose, or gauge for cleanout and inspection. Confirm the exact port locations and elevations against the technical drawing on this page before you set piping. If you are unsure whether 250 gallons matches your draw-down or storage window, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Freight and how it ships
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than bundled into the list price.

The mistake to avoid
The common error on a black XLPE tank like this is treating the 1.9 SG rating as a chemical-service guarantee. The rating is a structural weight rating; crosslinked polyethylene resists a broad range of liquids, but chemical suitability always depends on the specific chemistry, concentration, and temperature. If you are moving anything heavier or more aggressive than water, verify the fit first. When you pour the pad, design it around the loaded weight — up to about 3,962 pounds at the 1.9 SG rating, not the empty shell. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the foundation this loaded weight demands.
