The Snyder Industries 2650 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 8390000N42) is a natural white, crosslinked linear polyethylene vertical storage tank built to a 1.9 specific gravity rating - meaning it is engineered to carry dense contents that many standard 1.0-1.5 SG tanks are not rated to hold. At 97 inches tall (roughly 8 feet) on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, it is a large tank, so plan the pad, the ladder or platform access to the top, and the delivery approach before it arrives. This is the XLPE construction buyers search for when they need heavier-duty wall strength than a standard HDPE vertical storage tank.
Will it work for your application?
This vertical tank holds 2,650 gallons in a crosslinked linear polyethylene shell rated to 1.9 specific gravity. Filled with water you are carrying about 22,101 pounds of contents; at its maximum rated content density the tank is engineered for up to 41,992 pounds. Remember that nameplate gallons and usable gallons are not the same - after freeboard your working volume sits below the 2,650-gallon rating, and that 22,101-pound full-water figure is your reference for a completely filled shell. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the draw-down and freeboard you actually need. For fast-fill reservoir duty, our guide on freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 walks through the real volume you can put to work.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded-vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access, a 12 x 13.5-inch S.U.M.O. fitting, and additional S.U.M.O. fitting provisions. The vented threaded fitting matters on a tank this size: it lets air move in and out so you avoid pulling a vacuum on draw-down or over-pressurizing the shell during a fast fill. The 15-inch manway supports inspection and cleanout, though at nearly 8 feet of height that top access needs a stable ladder or platform. Confirm each fitting size and location against the drawing before you plumb the system rather than assuming standard placement.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a heavy-duty XLPE storage tank like this is sizing the pad and support for water alone. Because the shell is rated to 1.9 specific gravity, a full load of dense contents can approach 41,992 pounds - nearly double the 22,101-pound water weight. That 1.9 rating is structural wall and foundation headroom, so design your concrete pad for the actual density you intend to store, not for water. The 102 x 102-inch footprint must sit fully and evenly supported; an underbuilt pad is the failure mode that undoes an otherwise correct tank choice.
