The heavy-wall 3,000 gallon tank on a 90 inch base
The Snyder 5130000N45 is a white polyethylene vertical chemical tank, 90 inches across and 127 inches tall, holding 3,000 gallons at 710 pounds empty. That weight is the reason it exists: the same mold is sold at 510 and 575 pounds, and the 5130000N45 carries the most resin of the three, rated for a specific gravity of 1.5, or 37,530 pounds of contents against 25,020 for water. It has a 3 inch outlet at the base and an 18 inch manway on top, and it is the tank for the liquid that is heavier than water and the site that wants the thickest wall the mold allows.

Wall thickness as a buying decision
Every rotationally molded tank in a family shares a mold; what changes is how much resin goes in and how long it cooks, and that is what the empty weight reports. A heavier wall resists creep under a dense liquid, holds its shape through years of thermal cycling in the sun, and tolerates the side loads of pipe and valves at the outlet. The list below is the resin's rated chemistry; the chemical compatibility database gives the rating by concentration and temperature for the liquid you buy. The 3,000 gallon vertical tank buyers guide and its companion guide compare this tall shape against the low profile 3,000 gallon tanks, and the tank sizing calculator checks the volume against feed rate and delivery interval.
One mold, three weights, and two other shapes
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5130000N45 (this tank) | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 710 lb |
| 5130000N43 | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 575 lb |
| 5130000N33 | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 510 lb |
| 7410000N43 (low profile, 1.9 SG) | 3,000 | 102 x 96 in | 575 lb |
| 32288 | 3,500 | 96 x 125 in | 550 lb |
The N43 is 135 pounds lighter at the same 1.5 rating, and the N33 is 200 pounds lighter still for liquids near the density of water; all three stand 127 inches tall on the same 90 inch pad. The 7410000N43 is the different idea: 3,000 gallons at 96 inches tall on a 102 inch base, with the 1.9 rating, for the low room and the heavy liquid. The 32288 is a 3,500 gallon water tank at 550 pounds, and the weight difference against this tank is the whole difference between a water wall and a chemical wall.
Still deciding between these? Freight to your ZIP often settles it; the wider tanks ship differently. Or call 866-418-1777 and we will walk the table with you.
Access and outlet
- Outlet: 3 inch, at the bottom of the sidewall; flanged transition, expansion joint, valve supported off the slab.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, vented to the outside on caustic or acid service.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
The level gauge selection guide matches a sender to the chemical; at 127 inches a hydrostatic sender at the outlet is the practical choice. For regulated liquids, the Snyder Captor 110 percent containment comparison covers double wall tanks against a berm around a 90 inch footprint, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve to keep between deliveries.
Put to use
Coagulant and caustic bulk storage at treatment plants, brine and fertilizer at agricultural sites, and process reagents on a plant floor where the tank will be filled from a tanker and drawn by transfer pump through the 3 inch outlet. Fill through a dip tube to the floor so a fast unload does not splash the lid.
How it ships
The 5130000N45 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) at 90 inches across and 127 inches long on the deck, priced by the lane; the freight cost estimator returns that price for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks sets 710 pounds on the pad. Strap it while empty, water-test in stages, and check the 3 inch outlet after the hold.
Chemical service ratings
The resin is rated for the liquids below at the concentrations shown; the fitting and gasket called out are the ones to order with the tank. Verify the exact service on the linked page or in the chemical compatibility database before ordering.
- acetic acid at 60% (PP or PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets)
- aluminum sulfate at 50% (PVC, EPDM)
- calcium chloride at 40% (PVC, EPDM)
- DEF at 32.5% (316SS fittings, EPDM)
- ferrous sulfate at 20% (PVC, EPDM)
- magnesium chloride at 30% (PVC, EPDM)
- sodium carbonate at 30% (PVC, EPDM)
- urea solution at 50% (PP or PVC, EPDM), and ozonated water up to 10 PPM (PVC, EPDM). Match your fitting and gasket materials to the chemical, not just to
- ethylene glycol
- ferric chloride
- ferric sulfate
- hydrochloric acid (PVC fittings, Viton gaskets)
- hydrofluoric acid (Viton)
- hydrofluosilicic acid
- hydrogen peroxide (Viton)
- peracetic acid (316SS fittings, Aflas gaskets)
- phosphoric acid (Viton)
- polyaluminum chloride
- potassium carbonate
- potassium hydroxide
- propylene glycol
- sodium bisulfate
- sodium bisulfite
- sodium hypochlorite (Viton)
- sodium thiosulfate
- sulfuric acid (CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets), and
- zinc orthophosphate . If your application is on that list, talk to us before ordering so we put you on the right wall thickness. Full data lives in our
