The Snyder Industries 30 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Leg Tank is a compact white horizontal tank for chemical transport and storage where a low, stable load matters more than capacity. Filled with plain water it carries about 250 pounds, and rated to its full 1.9 specific gravity it is built to handle up to 475 pounds of contents on a 23.0 x 20.0 inch footprint. It stands 26 inches high by 23 inches wide by 20 inches long, sits on molded legs, and is built from high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE). That 1.9 specific gravity rating is the spec that separates this tank from a basic water leg tank: it is engineered to carry dense, aggressive liquids, not just water.
Will it work for your liquid?
Sizing comes down to weight, not just gallons. That 1.9 headroom is why operators reach for this horizontal leg tank for dense fertilizer blends, brines, and concentrated acids that would overload a lower-rated water tank, while the low 23 x 20 inch footprint keeps the load stable on a skid, trailer deck, or applicator frame. At a 1.9 specific gravity rating this is the heaviest-liquid class Snyder builds in this leg-tank form, so there is no higher-rated step up to consider. If you are matching tank size to a target volume and weight, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you buy.
Chemical compatibility
The tank is HDLPE; the seal is the fitting and the gasket. Every chemical below is workable in this tank only with the exact fitting and gasket material shown, at the listed concentration, and is temperature-specific. Do not assume the polyethylene shell alone determines compatibility. Watch the stainless-steel exceptions in particular: DEF (a high-demand fluid), peracetic acid, propylene glycol, and zinc orthophosphate call for 316SS rather than PVC or PP fittings, and ordering plastic fittings for those will cost you a return. Verify each against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your exact concentration and temperature.
- Acetic Acid (60%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- DEF (32.5%) - 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ethylene Glycol (100%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Chloride (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Sulfate (60%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate (20%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Hydrochloric Acid (37%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluoric Acid (48%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrogen Peroxide (50%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Peracetic Acid (30%) - 316SS fittings, Aflas gaskets
- Phosphoric Acid (85%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Polyaluminum Chloride - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Carbonate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Hydroxide (saturated) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Propylene Glycol - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfate - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfite - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Carbonate (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Hypochlorite (<16.5%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sulfuric Acid (98%) - CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Urea Solution (50%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Zinc Orthophosphate - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets (no dedicated reference page yet)
Concentration matters as much as the chemical itself: sulfuric acid at 98% behaves nothing like a dilute solution, and the strong oxidizers and acids above demand Viton or specialty gaskets rather than EPDM. Match every concentration and temperature against the OEM chemical-resistance chart, and browse our full chemical compatibility reference before committing.
