The Snyder Industries 7650 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank is built for serious bulk water storage, holding 7,650 gallons in a 142-inch diameter footprint that stands 122 inches tall. The black polyethylene wall blocks sunlight, which keeps algae from taking hold in stored water, and the 1.5 specific gravity rating gives this vertical tank real headroom for liquids denser than water. If you are sizing rural fire reserve, irrigation supply, industrial process water, or reuse storage, this 7,650-gallon vessel is one of the larger single-tank options for above-ground bulk service. Plan early for freight: at 142 inches wide and tens of thousands of pounds, this is an oversize, heavy LTL move quoted live to your ZIP through our Freight Cost Estimator.
Will it work for your site
Run the numbers before you pour a pad. Filled with water, this tank carries 63,801 pounds of contents; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it can hold up to 95,702 pounds. That is the load your foundation has to carry, so this is a concrete-pad install, not a gravel one. The 142.0 x 142.0 inch footprint and 122-inch height tell you the clear space and overhead you need on site. The 1.5 SG rating means the polyethylene wall is engineered for heavier-than-water service, so buyers storing liquids heavier than water can use the headroom up to the 95,702-pound ceiling, sizing to the contents' actual density rather than to water alone. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the capacity and dimensions match your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit.
Foundation and design references
At nearly 96,000 pounds rated load, the pad under this vertical storage tank is part of the install, not an afterthought. Give your slab engineer the rated load of 95,702 pounds and the 142" x 142" footprint so the pad is designed to the worst case, not the water-only 63,801 pounds. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the slab matches the footprint and the rated weight. If this black tank is going into a private fire-protection system, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation, see our industrial water reuse tank topology guide. If you are storing a denser liquid near the SG ceiling, our Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing guide covers ASTM D1998 freeboard and thermal-expansion math, plus containment options. Refer to the technical drawing on this page for outlet and fitting placement before you set the tank, and call 866-418-1777 to confirm outlet size, fitting and gasket compatibility, and bulkhead placement before you order.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.5 specific gravity rating is a ceiling, not a license. It tells you the maximum density the wall is built for; it does not certify this tank for any specific chemical. For fire-reserve, irrigation, and general water storage that rating gives you wide margin. If you are considering anything denser or anything other than water, confirm the service against the contents density first rather than assuming the SG headroom alone qualifies it. The other common miss is the pad: do not undersize the foundation against the 95,702-pound rated load.
