The Snyder Industries 2650 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 8390000C37) is a 2,650-gallon natural white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and high-density liquid storage. It stands 97 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, the spec that decides whether this tank is right for your liquid. For water at room temperature, it handles the job with room to spare.
Will it work for your application
The tank holds 2,650 gallons. Full of water, the contents weigh about 22,101 pounds; loaded to its maximum rated specific gravity of 1.5, the contents weigh up to 33,152 pounds. Use both numbers when you size the pad: a 102 x 102 inch footprint over 33,000-plus pounds of liquid is a real foundation load, so the base needs to be level, fully supported, and engineered for the filled weight. The tank's empty (tare) weight is not listed here — confirm it from the technical drawing rather than guessing so your pad calculation accounts for both the filled contents and the tank itself. If you are working out the slab, the concrete pad sizing guide for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 2,650 gallons is the right capacity before you commit.
Check the fittings before you order
This vertical tank's outlet, lid, and bulkhead configuration is shown on the technical drawing on this page, not in the listing specs. Before you size pipe, verify the outlet size and lid diameter against your plumbing, and confirm the bulkhead fitting thread and gasket on the drawing match your line — gaskets and fittings are what determine whether your connection actually seals. Treat the drawing as the source of truth for connection compatibility, and call us if anything is unclear before you buy.
The mistake to avoid
The number that trips people up on a vertical storage tank this size is specific gravity. This tank is rated to 1.5 SG, meaning it is engineered for liquids up to one and a half times the density of water. Water is 1.0, so you have headroom. The simple check: divide your liquid's specific gravity by 1.5 to confirm you stay under the wall rating, then verify the contents weight stays at or under the 33,152-pound maximum. A heavier-than-water liquid in a tank built only for water can overload the wall, so always match your liquid's specific gravity to the 1.5 ceiling. If you are storing a higher-density or regulated liquid that approaches that ceiling, review the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard guide for freeboard and secondary-containment sizing before choosing this single-wall tank.
Common uses
This is a workhorse white vertical storage tank for water reserves, rainwater and grey-water capture, process and rinse water, and rural or remote water supply. For fire-protection reserves, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate sites; for captured-water systems, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide maps grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation into a single storage train.
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, with freight quoted live to your ZIP at the time of order. At roughly 8.5 feet tall on an 8.5 x 8.5 foot footprint, this is an oversize LTL load, so confirm dock or forklift access (or curbside offload) and overhead clearance at the delivery site when you pull the quote. Get an estimate with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the right vertical tank, the freight to your site, and lead time. List price is shown above before freight.
