The Snyder Industries 65 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Leg Tank is a 1.9 specific-gravity polyethylene haul tank built for moving liquid across the yard, down the road on a properly rated trailer, or between fill points. It measures 44 inches long by 32 inches wide by 20 inches tall, holds 65 gallons, and the integrally molded legs hold the load flat so it transports without rolling or shifting. At 1.9 SG it is rated well past the weight of water, which is what you want in a tank that gets agitated and hauled while full.
Will it work for your load?
Full of water this tank carries 542 pounds, and Snyder rates it for contents up to 1,030 pounds. That is no accident: 65 gallons of a 1.9 specific-gravity liquid weighs almost exactly 1,030 pounds, so the SG rating and the weight limit are the same constraint at full volume. A true 1.9 SG product fills the tank to capacity and reaches the weight ceiling at the same moment, which takes the guesswork out of sizing. The 32 x 44 inch footprint sits low on a skid or trailer deck, and the 20 inch height keeps the center of gravity down for stable horizontal transport. To check your own liquid, multiply gallons by 8.34 and then by your liquid's specific gravity to confirm you stay under that 1,030 pound rating. The Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide walk you through that math, and the dimensional details and fitting layout are on the technical drawing on this page.
Chemical compatibility
This polyethylene tank is rated at 1.9 specific gravity. The exact resin grade should be confirmed before chemical service - verify the resin and build (for example linear versus cross-linked HDLPE versus XLPE) with us at 866-418-1777, because cross-linked resin handles certain aggressive oxidizers differently. Compatibility below is drawn from the manufacturer chemical-resistance chart and is concentration- and temperature-specific, so always confirm against your exact conditions.
This tank pairs with the following chemicals at the listed concentrations, with the fitting and gasket materials that suit them: Acetic Acid 60% (PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets), Aluminum Sulfate 50% (PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride 40% (PVC, EPDM), DEF 32.5% (316SS, EPDM), Ethylene Glycol 100% (PVC, EPDM), Ferric Chloride 50% (PVC, EPDM), Ferric Sulfate 60% (PVC, EPDM), Ferrous Sulfate 20% (PVC, EPDM), Hydrochloric Acid 37% (PVC, Viton), Hydrofluoric Acid 48% (PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrofluosilicic Acid 26% (PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrogen Peroxide 50% (PVC, Viton), Magnesium Chloride 30% (PVC, EPDM), Peracetic Acid 30% (316SS, Aflas), Phosphoric Acid 85% (PVC, Viton), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM), Potassium Carbonate 50% (PVC, EPDM), Potassium Hydroxide saturated (PVC, EPDM), Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfate (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfite (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Carbonate 30% (PVC, EPDM), Sodium Hypochlorite under 16.5% (PVC, Viton), Sodium Thiosulfate 40% (PVC, EPDM), Sulfuric Acid 98% (CPVC, Viton), Urea Solution 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM), Zinc Orthophosphate (PP/316SS, EPDM), and Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM (PVC, EPDM). Click any chemical on our chemical compatibility reference for the per-chemical detail, for example sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and DEF. Ozonated water (up to 10 PPM, PVC/EPDM) is chart-derived and does not yet have a dedicated reference page.
The mistake to avoid
The fitting and gasket material has to match the chemical, not just the tank. The chemicals here fall into three fitting tiers: most run on standard PVC fittings with EPDM gaskets; the acids and oxidizers - hydrochloric, phosphoric, hydrofluoric, hydrofluosilicic, hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite - need Viton gaskets; and DEF and peracetic acid call for 316 stainless. Sulfuric acid at 98% is the outlier, requiring CPVC fittings with Viton, not standard PVC. Order the wrong gasket and you get a leak at the bulkhead long before anything happens to the tank wall. Confirm your chemical's concentration and temperature against the OEM chart, and if you are unsure which resin build is right for an aggressive oxidizer, call before you fill. For fertilizer hauling and DOT trailer classification, our guides on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and portable utility tank DOT classification spell out the field rules, and the fertilizer-blend stratification guide covers keeping a mixed load on-spec.
