The Snyder Industries 550 Gallon Jet-A Liquitote is a 550-gallon aviation fuel tote built for storing and dispensing JET A fuel. It stands 77.75 inches tall on a compact 48 x 42-inch footprint, fitting standard pallet positions and warehouse aisle widths. If you are sourcing an ibc tote for aviation fuel handling, this is a purpose-built fuel tank rather than a repurposed water or chemical container.
Will it work for your site?
This non-caged IBC tote stands 77.75 inches high, 48 inches wide, and 42 inches deep, so confirm your door clearances, forklift mast height, and overhead obstructions before it arrives. The footprint is 48.0 x 42.0 inches. Filled with water for testing or commissioning, the worst-case full weight is roughly 4,587 pounds, so size your floor, rack, or containment pad to that figure. JET A is lighter than water at about 6.8 pounds per gallon, so in-service fuel weight runs below that water-test number rather than adding to it. Because this is a non-caged IBC tote rather than a standard caged unit, plan your support structure around the bare vessel. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and our Tank Sizing Guide if you are comparing this 550-gallon capacity against other tote tank and IBC options for your throughput.
Fittings and seal compatibility
Fill, vent, and outlet/valve configuration is not specified in this listing, so confirm fitting sizes and gasket material with us at 866-418-1777 before ordering dispense hardware. JET A is a hydrocarbon, and elastomer gasket and seal choice matters for fuel service, so verify gasket and seal compatibility with JET A using our Chemical Compatibility Database before specifying valves and fittings.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from Burnet, TX, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code. Because a tote of this size and weight moves on a pallet by motor freight rather than parcel, use the Freight Cost Estimator for a freight estimate to your address, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you. Confirm whether you need liftgate service or have a dock before you order, since that affects both scheduling and cost.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a fuel tote is treating it like a generic IBC and skipping the containment question. For JET A and similar fuel service, plan secondary containment from the start rather than retrofitting it later. Our guides walk through the tradeoffs: see Container vs Tank: When To Buy a Tote, IBC, Drum or Tank to confirm a tote is the right packaging tier, the Drum vs Tote vs Bulk Tank Break-Even Analysis for the volume and turnover math, and the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 Secondary Containment guide plus the Snyder Captor Plus 110% Containment vs UL-142 / SPCC comparison for containment sizing and inspection cadence.
