Used tanks in the 1,000 gallon class are handled as sourcing requests. Tanks of this size differ in shape, material and history, so the request starts with what you will store and where the tank has to fit.
Weight and footing
| Item | Figure |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 1,000 US gallons nominal |
| Water weight when full | about 8,340 lb, at 8.34 lb per gallon |
| Equivalent in totes | about three 330 gallon IBC totes, or between three and four 275 gallon totes |
Heavier liquids weigh more in the same tank: multiply the water weight by the specific gravity of your product. The tank needs a flat, level base that supports its whole bottom and carries that load, typically a concrete pad. A tank must also be rated for the specific gravity of what goes in it.
One tank or a row of totes
At 1,000 gallons a tank competes directly with totes. Three 330 gallon totes hold the same volume, can be bought one at a time, and move by forklift. A single tank is the better answer when you want one fill point, one outlet and one level to read, and when the liquid will not need to move once it is delivered.
What to confirm on a used tank
- Material. Polyethylene, fiberglass, steel or stainless, matched to the chemical and temperature.
- Previous contents. This decides what the tank can be reused for. A tank that held chemicals is not suitable for drinking water or food.
- Shape and dimensions. Vertical, horizontal or cone-bottom, with diameter and height against your doorways, ceiling and pad.
- Condition. Cracks, crazing or chalking on plastic, corrosion or dents on steel, and the state of fittings and the lid.
- Fittings. Size, type and position of the outlet, fill and vent.
Is a tank the right choice?
A fixed tank suits liquid that stays in one place and is filled and drawn down there. If the liquid has to move by forklift or truck, IBC totes do that and need no installation. For a different capacity, see 2,500 gallon tanks; all tank options are under tanks.
Moving a tank this size
An empty tank is light for its size but bulky, so freight is priced on space as much as weight. Give the delivery ZIP, how the tank will be unloaded, and any limit on height or width at your site. Tanks are never shipped with product in them.
What to include in a request
- What the tank will hold, with specific gravity and temperature if known.
- Material required, or the materials you cannot accept.
- Space, fittings and access limits.
- Quantity, location and timing.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a full 1,000 gallon tank weigh?
About 8,340 lb of water, plus the tank itself. Heavier liquids weigh more: multiply by the specific gravity of the product. The base under the tank has to carry that load evenly.
Can a used tank be used for drinking water?
Only if it was made for potable water and its history is known and suitable. A tank that held chemicals or unknown contents should not be used for drinking water or food. State the intended contents in your request.
