A 3,000 gallon black cross-linked tank for water and liquid feed on a 90 inch pad
Snyder part number 5130000N46 is a 3,000 gallon vertical storage tank in black cross-linked polyethylene, 90 inches in diameter and 127 inches tall, weighing 575 lb empty. It is rated for liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water: 3,000 gallons of water is 3,000 x 8.34 = 25,020 lb, and at the 1.5 rating the contents can weigh up to 37,530 lb. That covers water, most liquid fertilizers and the dilute chemicals polyethylene handles. An 18 inch threaded vented manway sits on the dome. The service limit is 140 F (60 C), and Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. Snyder builds 3,000 gallons on more than one shell; this is the narrow, tall one, and black keeps light out of stored water.

A narrow footprint for a working yard
At 90 inches across this tank fits beside a well house, against a barn wall or in a corner of a treatment room, and reaches 3,000 gallons by standing 127 inches tall. It suits well water, rainwater, fertilizer solutions and the dilute chemicals a 1.5 rating covers. For a plant aggregating grey water, rainwater and HVAC condensate for reuse, our guide to industrial water reuse tank layouts covers how tanks this size are banded by water quality. For a private fire reserve on a rural site, the fire water reservoir design guide covers sizing and freeze protection. Cross-linked polyethylene resists impact and stress cracking better than linear resin, which is worth having where equipment moves around the tank. Full, it puts up to 37,530 lb on a 90 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor bears on the whole slab, so the pad is sized per our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact. Tall and narrow is the shape the wind takes first; anchor the empty tank before the first fill. Liquids heavier than 1.5 times water, and the aggressive chemistries, need Snyder's 1.9 rated wall on this shell; ask us for it by name. The tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide settle whether 3,000 gallons covers the draw.
Openings and fittings, and what to confirm before you buy
- Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, 127 inches off the pad. Wide enough for a fill hose, a float and a brush; plan a platform or a tall rolling stair.
- Outlet and fittings. Tell us the outlet size, thread and position you need and what runs through it. We confirm what 5130000N46 ships with and what Snyder can add at the plant.
- The liquid. Check anything beyond water and fertilizer in our chemical compatibility guide and against the 140 F (60 C) limit.
- Drawing. Snyder's drawing for this shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page; set pipe runs from it before the pad is poured.
