The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Vertical Double Wall Liquid Storage Tank is a West Virginia-only configuration that ships from Snyder's plant in Philippi, WV, and it is built for operators who need contained bulk storage without pouring a separate concrete or steel containment dike. It holds 3,000 gallons in a 102-inch square footprint, stands 142 inches tall, and is molded from High Density Linear Polyethylene rated to 1.5 specific gravity. The double-wall construction makes secondary containment integral to the tank, so the inner vessel and the outer shell ship as one unit. This is the double wall tank operators reach for when a single-wall vertical tank plus an external berm would cost more and eat more yard space.
Will it work for your contents?
The 1.5 specific gravity rating sets the ceiling on what you can store: any liquid up to 1.5 times the density of water. That covers full water service and most common process liquids in that density band. Full of water, this storage tank carries about 25,020 pounds of contents; loaded to its 1.5 SG ceiling, the rated contents weight climbs to roughly 37,530 pounds. Design your pad and any anchoring around the heavier figure, not the water number, because that is the worst-case load the foundation actually has to carry. Across the 102 x 102-inch base (about 10,400 square inches), that works out to roughly 3.6 psi full of water and about 5.4 psi at the 1.5 SG ceiling - a real bearing-pressure check worth running before you set the tank. Confirm both the footprint and the 142-inch overhead clearance at your install point before scheduling delivery, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to match this vertical storage tank to your draw-down and refill cycle.
The mistake to avoid
The biggest miss on a double wall vertical tank like this one is treating the specific gravity rating as a suggestion. A 1.5 SG tank stores liquids up to 1.5 SG safely; push a denser liquid into it and you load the wall beyond what the resin was engineered to hold. If your liquid exceeds 1.5 SG, this is the wrong tank - call us at 866-418-1777 to spec a higher-rated vessel. One more detail buyers overlook: this listing does not lock a fitting or outlet configuration, so confirm bulkhead fittings, gaskets, and outlet placement with our team before you finalize plumbing, and confirm the integral containment annulus suits your spill-control plan.
How it ships
This storage tank ships LTL by motor freight from Philippi, WV. Because it is a West Virginia configuration leaving a West Virginia plant, in-state transit is short, but freight is still quoted live to your delivery ZIP rather than baked into the list price. Pull a real number with the Freight Cost Estimator before you order.
