The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in white is a high-density linear polyethylene vertical tank for water and general liquid storage, built around a compact 36-inch footprint and a 6-foot vertical profile. At 72 inches tall on a 36 x 36 inch base, it holds 300 gallons in a stable, narrow-diameter shape that drops easily onto a pad, into a corner, or alongside other tanks in a row. With Snyder molding plants in both Albertville, AL and Merced, CA, a buyer in the Southeast or on the West Coast gets a short LTL lane either way. If you are weighing this against other 300 gallon vertical tank options, the questions below cover what it does, how it ships, and the one spec most buyers overlook.
Does it work for your liquid?
This is a vertical storage tank molded from high density linear polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which means it is engineered to hold contents up to 1.5 times the weight of water. Full of water, the 300 gallons weighs about 2,502 pounds; at the tank's maximum rated 1.5 specific gravity, contents can reach roughly 3,753 pounds. Use both numbers when you plan the pad or stand underneath it, and size that structure to the heavier 3,753-pound figure — the difference between a water fill and a denser fluid is significant, and the base has to carry the worst case. To match the tank to your actual draw and refill schedule, run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Dimensions, fittings, and placement
The footprint is 36.0 x 36.0 inches with an overall height of 72 inches, so confirm your doorway, gate, and ceiling clearance before delivery — a 6-foot tank does not always make it through a standard shed opening upright. Fitting configuration is not specified in the listed specs for this SKU, so confirm the outlet, fill, and vent ports and their sizes by phone at 866-418-1777 before you order, and at the same time confirm the gasket and seal material at any fitting is rated for your specific fluid.

The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank like this is matching only the gallons and ignoring the specific gravity. This Snyder tank carries a 1.5 rating, which is generous for water and most water-based solutions — but if your liquid is denser than 1.5 times water, this is not the right wall. Confirm your fluid's specific gravity first; if it exceeds 1.5, call 866-418-1777 and we will match you to a higher-rated tank instead. Getting that right up front saves a return.
