The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon XLPE Double Wall Tank ships in white cross-linked polyethylene with a 1.9 specific gravity rating - meaning it is already engineered for fluids heavier than water, where a standard 1.0 SG water tank is not. The cross-linked resin and the integral double-wall design are what separate this tank from a standard single-wall vertical: the outer shell forms a second containment wall around the primary tank. At 122" tall on a 102" x 102" footprint - an 8'-6" square pad, just over 10' high - it holds 2500 gallons in a compact square ground plan. Check your gate width and overhead clearance for the set.
Will it work for your site?
Confirm your application against the two weights this XLPE double wall tank is engineered around. Full of water, the loaded assembly runs about 20,850 lb; at its maximum 1.9 SG content rating it carries up to 39,615 lb - proof this tank is built for dense contents. Size your pad and structural base for the heavier of the two numbers you'll actually run; this is exactly the kind of weight where a guessed pad gets you in trouble, so walk it through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you set anything. For above-ground bulk storage, our walkthrough on concrete pad sizing under the ACI 360R-10 framework covers what the base has to do.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this 2500 gallon double wall tank comes configured with a flange, an 18" PE threaded and vented inlet, and a manway with 15" access. That 15" manway is your interior reach for inspection and cleanout - confirm it clears your camera, hose, or arm before you rely on it. Bring your own gasket rated for your fluid to the flange connection, and confirm your inlet plumbing threads to the 18" PE vented fitting using PE thread sealant rather than tape-and-guess on a 1.9 SG load. Use the technical drawing to confirm fitting locations and elevations against your existing pipe runs.
Sizing for double-wall freeboard
One mistake to avoid on a double-wall XLPE tank at 1.9 SG: treating the full nameplate volume as usable. Freeboard, thermal expansion, and contents density all eat into the working volume you can actually fill. Snyder's Captor double-wall line is built around exactly this discipline - our guide on freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 shows how density and thermal expansion set the real volume you can use, and if your service falls under spill containment rules, the SPCC 40 CFR 112 compliance walkthrough covers how a double-wall design fits into that planning. For rural fire-water and reservoir duty, the NFPA 22 reservoir design guide covers sizing and freeze protection.
This tank ships LTL from the nearest Snyder plant serving your ZIP - the Lincoln, NE facility for most of the country - with freight quoted live to your address.
