3,000 gallons, 1.5 specific gravity, 800 pounds of wall
The Snyder 8160000C37 is a white high density linear polyethylene vertical liquid storage tank, 90 inches in diameter and 127 inches tall, holding 3,000 gallons at 800 pounds empty. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.5, or 37,530 pounds of contents against 25,020 for the same volume of water. The 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead outlet is fitted at the factory, and an 18 inch threaded, vented manway sits on top. It is the heaviest 3,000 gallon tank Snyder puts on a 90 inch base, and the 800 pounds is the buying reason.

What 800 pounds of resin is for
Four tanks share this 90 by 127 inch mold at four empty weights, and the number tells you how thick the wall is. The 8160000C37 carries 90 pounds more than the 5130000N45, 225 more than the 5130000N43 and 290 more than the 5130000N33, and every pound is in the wall: a shell that resists creep under a dense liquid, that keeps its shape through decades of sun and thermal cycling, and that carries the side load of hard pipe and a valve at the 3 inch outlet. If the liquid is water or close to it, buy the lighter tank; if it is brine, fertilizer or a treatment chemical up to 1.5 specific gravity and the tank has to be right for a long time outdoors, this is the one. The 3,000 gallon vertical tank buyers guide compares the class across makers, and the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide confirm the volume against the delivery interval.
The 90 x 127 inch mold at every weight
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8160000C37 (this tank, 1.5 SG) | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 800 lb |
| 5130000N45 (1.5 SG) | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 710 lb |
| 5130000N43 (1.5 SG) | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 575 lb |
| 5130000N33 | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 510 lb |
| 8390000C26 | 2,650 | 102 x 97 in | 510 lb |
The first four rows are the same footprint and the same height, so a pad or a containment basin built for one takes any of them. The 8390000C26 is the low profile alternative, 30 inches shorter on a 102 inch base for 350 fewer gallons, for a room where 127 inches will not fit.

Outlet and manway
- Outlet: 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the bottom of the sidewall, factory installed.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A 3 inch female NPT thread takes a PVC or CPVC adapter straight to hard pipe; put an expansion joint in the first run, support the valve off the slab, and re-check the bulkhead nut after the first full fill. A white tank shows its level in daylight; in a pump room, plan a sender at the outlet.
Freight for a 3,000 gallon tank
At 90 inches across and 127 inches long on the deck, the 8160000C37 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks handles 800 pounds. Strap the empty tank against wind, water-test in stages with a hold, and check the outlet before the product fill.
