How to Choose the Right Fertilizer Tank for Your Farm

Liquid fertilizer tanks are a common piece of equipment on many farms, but choosing the right one involves more than just picking a tank size.

This guide walks through the key factors farmers should consider when purchasing a liquid fertilizer storage tank, highlighting what fertilizer you're storing, understanding specific gravity (SG), choosing the right size, planning tank location, fittings and plumbing, and more.

Tank Colour Guide

When it comes to tanks, color is much more than a cosmetic decision. Tank color should actually be chosen based on what you're storing, where the tank sits, and how long it needs to perform. 

This guide breaks down the difference between white, blue, and black tanks, how each of these colors affect tank performance, and how you should choose the right color for your needs. 

Specific Gravity Guide

Specific Gravity is one of the most important numbers you’ll look at when picking the right tank. Your tank has to be designed to hold the weight of what’s inside it. At Tank Outfitters, we don’t do guesswork - we match tanks to the specific gravity of your liquid so you get long life, safe storage, and peace of mind.

This guide explains exactly what Specific Gravity is, why it matters, and how Tank Outfitters removes the guesswork for you so you get the right tank for the job.
