The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a 2,500-gallon vertical storage tank built in high density linear polyethylene with an ASTM-certified shell rated to 1.9 specific gravity. It stands 107 inches tall on a 90-inch round footprint (90.0 x 90.0), so before you order, confirm your pad, doorway clearance, and overhead room can take a tank that tall. Filled, it does not move - plan placement once.
Will this tank work for your application?
This is a single-compartment vertical HDPE tank for liquid storage at atmospheric pressure. Filled with water it carries roughly 20,850 lb of contents, and because the shell is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity it is engineered to hold up to about 39,615 lb of contents - meaning it can safely store liquids heavier than water (up to 1.9 times the weight of water at the same volume) without exceeding its design rating. That higher SG rating is the reason to choose this tank over a basic water-only model: it gives you headroom for denser liquids. One thing to size for up front: the nominal 2,500 gallons is the molded capacity, and recommended freeboard means your usable working volume is lower - run your actual draw through the Tank Sizing Calculator rather than ordering to the nameplate. Beyond everyday liquid storage, a tall white vertical tank in this size class is also a legitimate static-storage and rural fire-reserve candidate; the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for that use. The white shell lets you read the level through the wall, and gallonage marks are molded in, though the technical drawing notes some marks may be removed where a fitting is placed.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank comes configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for cleaning, inspection, and equipment. The drawing specifies the fitting types but not every thread and gasket dimension - confirm the flange bolt pattern and the 18-inch fitting's thread spec against the drawing (or call 866-418-1777) before you source mating gaskets and bulkhead fittings. Verify each fitting's size and elevation as well, because inlet, outlet, vent, and manway placement determine how your fill and draw lines route. If you are still settling on capacity or layout, the Tank Sizing Guide walks through matching tank volume to your duty cycle, and the 2500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank buyer's guide covers this size class in depth.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is treating the SG rating and the wall thickness as fixed margins. The 1.9 SG rating is a contents-density limit, not a license to skip freeboard - and freeboard is exactly how you size denser-than-water service correctly, as the Snyder freeboard sizing guide per ASTM D1998 lays out. HDPE shells thin and stress most at the vapor-saturated headspace near the top, which is exactly where premature failures start and where liquid-side inspection misses them - the guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing logic explains why. Size for the liquid you will actually store, leave freeboard, and inspect the upper shell, not just the wetted section.
This Snyder vertical HDPE storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, with the cost quoted live to your ZIP code - use the Freight Cost Estimator for an instant rate, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you. A tank this diameter usually needs a forklift or a liftgate-plus-helper to offload, so confirm truck access and an unloading plan at the delivery site before the truck arrives.
