A 3000 gallon black heavy duty tank on a wider, lower 96 inch shell, built in California
Snyder part number 5130300N51 is a 3000 gallon black polyethylene vertical storage tank, 96 inches in diameter and 111 inches tall, weighing 720 lb empty. It carries the heavy duty rating in Snyder's ASTM line, liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, with a service limit of 120 F. On top is an 18 inch threaded vented manway. 3000 gallons of water weighs 25,020 lb; at the full 1.9 rating the contents come to about 47,500 lb. Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. Snyder uses the same product name on more than one 3000 gallon shell; this is the 96 by 111 inch one, so order by part number.

Why choose the 96 by 111 inch shell
At 111 inches tall this tank keeps 3000 gallons under a lower roof line or canopy, and the manway is easier to reach from a short ladder or a truck deck. The wider 96 inch base also stands more steadily than a narrower tank of the same volume, which helps on an exposed site. The cost is footprint: measure the pad and the path to it, because 96 inches is close to a full trailer width.
The 1.9 rating is for liquids nearly twice the weight of water: brines, salt solutions, heavy liquid fertilizers and the treatment chemicals that polyethylene handles. Check the liquid and its concentration in the chemical compatibility guide and tell us if it is not listed. If the tank will only ever hold water, ask about the lighter rated version of this shell, which we also list. At the rating, about 47,500 lb sits on the floor of the tank, so the slab must be level and continuous; the concrete pad sizing guide covers design. The Snyder freeboard sizing guide explains how much of the nameplate you can actually fill once thermal expansion and headroom are allowed for. For fire water read the fire water reservoir design guide, and for reclaimed water the industrial water reuse storage guide. Size it with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
Openings, and what to confirm
- Manway. One 18 inch threaded vented manway on top: fill point, vent and inspection opening. Never close the vent.
- Outlet. No outlet or fitting is listed with this part number. Tell us the line size, valve and liquid, and we will confirm with Snyder what comes on the tank; the gasket and valve materials are chosen against the liquid.
- Temperature. 120 F is the limit. Ask us before storing a liquid that arrives warm.
- Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 5130300N51 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Chowchilla, California plant, listed at 96 by 96 by 111 inches and 720 lb. Lift it with straps under the base, not by the manway, and have the unloading plan ready before the truck arrives. Set it on the finished slab, fill it with water first and check the base and manway before the working liquid goes in. At the tailgate, check the bill of lading against 5130300N51 and inspect the shell.
