Snyder Industries 275 Gallon Plastic Vertical Double Wall Waste Oil Tank in Yellow

Why the details are the product

• The strainer basket in the manway catches filters, rags and gasket scraps before they reach the tank, which is what keeps the draw pipe from plugging on pickup day.
• The lock on the lid is a compliance detail as much as a security one: an open used-oil tank is a spill waiting for a bumped bucket.
• The internal draw pipe means the hauler connects at the camlock and pulls from the bottom without opening the lid or lifting a hose over the rim.
• Yellow resin is the conventional color for used oil in a shop, so nobody mistakes it for fresh product or coolant.
• The 2 inch inlet takes a drain funnel or a pump-over line from a drain cart.

Containment rules it answers

Used oil in a shop lands under SPCC rules once the site's total oil storage crosses the threshold, and a double wall tank is the simplest way to satisfy the containment requirement without pouring a curb. The SPCC 40 CFR 112 compliance walkthrough maps the rule onto a double wall poly tank, the 110 percent containment comparison sets it against a UL 142 steel tank, and for a facility that manages the oil as hazardous waste the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guide covers leak detection in the interstitial space. Freeboard is the number to size the fill schedule to: the freeboard sizing guide shows how much of the 275 gallons is usable.

What it weighs full

At water density the tank holds 2,294 pounds; at its 1.9 rating it is built for 4,358 pounds of contents, which used oil will never approach, so the rating is margin rather than a limit you will meet. On a slab that is a non-issue; on a mezzanine, check the point-load rating for 47 inches of footprint. Service temperature is 120 F / 48 C, so hot drain oil should cool in the drain cart before it goes in. Three year warranty. The resin carries an NSF-61 listing, which matters only if the same mold is used for a clean-service tank; for waste oil it is simply a statement of resin quality.

Three sizes of the same tank

All three stand roughly the same height, so the choice is floor space against pickup frequency: the 150 gallon tank fits a two-bay shop that gets pumped monthly, the 360 gallon tank is 6 inches wider than this one and buys a fleet shop several more weeks between haulers. Size the tank to the hauler's minimum pickup with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Freight

LTL freight, NMFC 156600-03, 200 pounds crated at 47 by 47 by 63 inches; the freight cost estimator quotes your ZIP and the listed price is before freight. Two people can set it in place with a hand truck. Put it where the vacuum truck can reach the camlock with a hose, not where the tank is convenient to fill.
