A black, low profile 3,000 gallon heavy duty cone bottom tank from Chowchilla, CA
Snyder Industries part number 8360000N48 is a 3,000 gallon black heavy duty cone bottom tank in crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE), made at Snyder's plant in Chowchilla, CA. The shell is 95 inches in diameter and 120 inches tall and weighs 709 lb empty. Snyder rates the heavy duty wall for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, with a service limit of 100 F. On top is an 18 inch threaded vented manway. The black wall keeps sunlight off the contents, slowing algae and protecting light sensitive liquids, and the cone drains everything, sediment included, to a single outlet point.

Heavy liquids, low ceilings, outdoor sun
This version combines three things: the 1.9 rating for dense chemicals, a black wall for sun and light sensitive contents, and a short 120 inch shell that keeps the manway within easier reach and fits under lower roofs once the stand goes under it. The price of the short shell is width: at 95 inches, check the gate or door it passes through and the floor space around the stand. Then plan the slab for the full rating: 3,000 gallons x 8.34 lb = 25,020 lb of water, and 3,000 x 8.34 x 1.9 = 47,538 lb at 1.9, carried on the stand legs. Level it, and make it solid under every leg. Because the wall is black, budget for a level gauge; you will not see the liquid line through it. The 3,000 gallon cone bottom tank buyer's guide covers sizing and site prep.
What to check before you buy
- Stand. It must suit a 95 inch tank. Start with the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix and confirm with us for 8360000N48.
- Chemical. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide. Heavy duty buyers often ask about ferric sulfate, sodium carbonate, aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride. Read Snyder XLPE vs HDPE for why crosslinked resin is used.
- Outlet. No outlet size is listed for this tank. Tell us the pipe size and valve at the cone and we confirm the fitting.
- Temperature. 100 F maximum; a black tank in full sun warms up, so shade it if the liquid runs close to the limit.
