The Snyder Industries 360 Gallon Cylindrical Gravity Feed Tank System is a white, cylindrical polyethylene tank built for gravity-feed dispensing and dense-liquid bulk storage. It holds 360 gallons, stands 83.1 inches tall, and sits on a 65 x 52.3 inch footprint. Snyder rates this tank to a 1.9 specific gravity, which is the spec that matters most here: 1.9 is the top wall rating Snyder offers on this model, well above water's 1.0, so the polyethylene shell is engineered to carry dense contents through repeated fill-and-draw cycles without flexing past its design margin. There is no heavier-duty version to step up to; 1.9 SG is the ceiling.
Will it work for your job?
Size the pad and the support structure to the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with plain water this tank weighs about 3,002 pounds (360 gallons at 1.0 SG); at its maximum rated contents weight it reaches 5,705 pounds, the figure that corresponds to the tank's full 1.9 SG rating. That 5,705-pound number is what your stand, skid, or concrete pad has to bear when the tank runs full of dense product, so design the base around it. The 65 x 52.3 inch footprint and 83.1-inch height make this a tall, compact cylinder that feeds well from an elevated stand. If you are unsure whether 360 gallons matches your draw rate and refill schedule, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Gravity-feed setup and the base
A gravity-feed system depends on head height, so this tank earns its keep on a raised stand or platform where elevation does the dispensing work. With a loaded weight that can reach 5,705 pounds, the platform and pad are not an afterthought. For an above-ground polyethylene tank of this mass, pour and reinforce the slab properly: our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the base does not crack or settle under a full tank. Review the technical drawing on this page for the exact dimensions, outlet and fitting locations, and clearances before you build the stand and run your gravity-feed line.
The mistake to avoid
The number people overlook is the loaded weight, not the gallon rating. A 360-gallon tank sounds manageable until it is full of dense product and pressing 5,705 pounds onto an undersized stand or an unprepared pad. Confirm your support structure and pad are rated for that maximum loaded weight at the full 1.9 SG, and check the outlet placement on the technical drawing so your gravity-feed line drops where you need it. Build the base for the full tank, and the system runs for years.
