Size:7 Gallon | Style:Tank Only Inductor / Cone Bottom Tanks Full-Drain - Drains Completely and Evenly by Duda Energy. Inductor Tanks are selected as supply tanks for application systems and when a more complete drain out of stored liquids is required in indoor or outdoor applications. Tanks require stands to support the conical bottoms. Tanks are manufactured from medium-density polyethylene with U.V. inhibitors and designed for containment of liquids of up to 1.7 specific gravity. Tank walls are translucent for level viewing and equipped with gallon indicators.These tanks can be used for a variety of purposes. Some examples would be biodiesel processing, water treatment, oil settling and many other applications which require a chemical resistant material and a cone shaped bottom for easy and full draining. Conical bottoms are ideal for even draining. These tanks are essential when settling materials suspended in a fluid, as they will sink to the very bottom and become fully drainable unlike in flat bottom tanks. Full drain ports allow for complete draining of the bottom. Tanks which use bulkheads in the bottom often leave residue in the bottom, which may not be acceptable especially int he case of a biodiesel processor where the washing is done in the processing tank. These tanks should not be pressurized. They are warrantied to handle no more than 2 psi. They cannot be used in a vacuum application. The lids on the tank are not sealed with gaskets so if pressure build-up occurs, it can be relieved automatically through the point of contact between the lid and the top of the tank. The larger tanks come with an air vent in the top which will pop up and allow relief of pressure. It may also be manually popped open if ventillation is required.

Rugged And Well Made
These are nice tanks. I bought two for my aquaponic system and like them a lot. The material is thick and they are very well made. The description says they will not hold more than two-pounds of pressure, which is fine if you use them for their intended design, which is to dispense dry goods or liquids not under pressure. Five stars.But, being a hacker, I wanted to use these tanks as bio-filters for my aquaponic system. My water pump sends water to the bio-filter, the water passes through the bio-medium, and out the outflow pipe. Some pressure is involved, but not much. (I drilled holes in the tanks, inserted UniSeals in the holes, then pushed pipes through the Uni-Seals to make the in-flow and out-flow water lines. I put valves on the bottom drains to drain out solid waste that accumulates on the bottom of these tanks.) Then to make the lids more-pressure-tight, I removed the lids, then unscrewed the screws that hold the lid retainer ring to the tank. I removed the ring and put a bead of silicone caulk on the retainer ring, set it back in place, and screwed it back to the tank. Next, when my wife wasn't looking, I snatched two Silpat baking mats from the kitchen and made two gaskets, one for each tank. I put these gaskets on the lids and screwed the lids back into place. I lightly tapped the lids with a hammer to further tighten them. I turned on the pump, stood by watching for leaks but none appeared. My mod is working very well. I don't know exactly how much pressure is in the tanks, but it is certainly more than two pounds. All is well; a life without leaks is a good thing.(A good story, but it was my wife's idea to use the Silpat baking mats. I don't know what I would do without her.)

Unable to see water line
Bought to separate oil from water figured the clear white plastic would show the water line . Nope.Quality is very strong . Well made

Like it a lot!
Got a ten gallon batch brewing in it right now. I got a 1.5inch sanitary adapter for the bottom and cleaned it really well, put a batch of beer in, and it smells great after a week. Would buy another with no hesitation.

fittings all as described 2" npt full drain! I am now fermenting a 75 gallon batch of apple cider in this cheep option to get my winery off of its feet. I have had no sanitation issues as of yet.

we use this as a fermenter
Works well as a fermenter as long as you can keep it at the right temp - modified with a ball valve and can battle/keg straight from the fermenter; saves time.
