The Snyder Industries 65 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a compact, white polyethylene vertical tank built to ASTM standards for general-purpose liquid storage. At 46 inches tall on a 23 x 23 inch square footprint, it tucks into tight corners, equipment sheds, and utility rooms where a larger-diameter storage tank won't fit, while still holding a useful 65 gallons. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, so the wall is engineered to safely hold liquids substantially heavier than water without bulging or premature failure.
Will this 65 gallon vertical tank work for my application?
This is an HDPE vertical tank measuring 46 inches in height on a 23 x 23 inch base. Filled to its 65 gallon rating with plain water, plan for about 542 pounds of full water weight on your pad or stand. Because the tank is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, the maximum rated contents weight climbs to roughly 1,030 pounds when storing a heavier liquid up to that density limit, so size your support surface and tie-downs to the actual product you intend to store, not just the water figure. Run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this vertical storage tank matches your draw rate and refill cycle before you buy. One gap to close before ordering: fitting and lid configuration is not specified in our catalog data for this model, so confirm outlet, vent, and lid sizes with us at 866-418-1777 rather than assuming a thread size.
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the spec that sets this tank apart
Most general-purpose 65-gallon water tanks carry a 1.0 to 1.5 specific gravity rating. This Snyder tank's 1.9 rating gives you real headroom for dense brines, fertilizers, and concentrates that lighter tanks can't safely hold. That said, the most common mistake on a small vertical tank is reading only the water weight and ignoring the SG math: verify your liquid's actual specific gravity stays at or below 1.9, and confirm chemical compatibility separately, since this listing is for general liquid storage and does not certify the tank for any specific chemical. Remember that resin, gasket, and fitting materials each carry their own compatibility limits, so verify all three for your liquid, not just the tank wall. If your stored product sits in a sealed, vapor-rich headspace, our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace walks through the ASTM D1998 sizing logic operators should understand. See the technical drawing on this page for the dimensional layout before you commit to a footprint.
Setting it on a stable base
At 46 inches tall on a 23-inch base, this tank runs roughly a 2:1 height-to-base ratio, so a full unit is top-heavy and a level, full-contact pad with tie-downs isn't optional. If you are placing it on a poured slab, our walkthrough of concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary applies. A level base keeps the load distributed evenly across the 23 x 23 inch footprint and protects the tank over its service life.
