A 3000 gallon black heavy duty vertical tank on a 90 inch base, rated to 1.9 specific gravity
Snyder part number 8160000N51 is a 3000 gallon black polyethylene vertical storage tank, 90 inches in diameter and 127 inches tall, weighing 800 lb empty. It is the heavy duty wall in Snyder's ASTM line, rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, with a 120 F service limit. An 18 inch threaded vented manway sits on top. 3000 gallons of water weighs 25,020 lb; filled with a liquid at the full 1.9 rating the contents weigh about 47,500 lb. Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. Snyder uses the same product name on more than one shell, so the part number and the 90 by 127 inch size are how you tell this one apart.

What the heavy duty wall is for
A 3000 gallon tank on a 90 inch circle fits a crowded chemical room, a fenced pad at a treatment plant, or a farm yard where the tank has to sit beside other equipment. The 1.9 rating is the reason to pick this part number over a lighter one: it is built for dense liquids such as brines, calcium chloride and other salt solutions, heavy liquid fertilizers, and the treatment chemicals that polyethylene handles. For water alone the lighter rated version of this shell, which we also list, does the job. Check any chemical and its strength in the chemical compatibility guide before you order, and ask us about anything that is not covered.
The load on the base is the other decision. About 47,500 lb at the rating on a 90 inch footprint needs a slab that is level, continuous and designed for it; our concrete pad sizing guide covers thickness and reinforcement. Where the tank stores fire water, use the fire water reservoir design guide; where it collects reclaimed water at a plant, the industrial water reuse storage guide. Size it to your use with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
Openings, and what to confirm
- Manway. One 18 inch threaded vented manway on top for filling, venting and inspection. At 127 inches you need a ladder or platform to reach it; plan fall protection for regular access.
- Outlet. No outlet or fitting is listed with this part number. Tell us the line size, the valve material and the liquid, and we will confirm with Snyder what the tank carries. A leak almost always starts at a fitting, not the wall.
- Temperature. 120 F is the service limit. A dense liquid that arrives warm, or a black tank in strong sun, is the case to check with us.
- Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 8160000N51 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Marked Tree, Arkansas plant, listed at 90 by 90 by 127 inches and 800 lb. Unload it with straps under the base and enough hands to control it, never by the manway, and restrain it before it sits empty in the wind. Set it on the finished slab, fill it with water first, and check the base and manway before it takes the working liquid. At the tailgate, check the bill of lading against 8160000N51 and look over the shell.
