NW Metal Products used to make a 45 gal. I've never heard of a 40 gal being offered by anyone.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-Jul-02 AT 05:25 PM (EST)]I guess I'll just change over to one of the smaller factory tanks! Thanks for your help.





I dont know what the factory capacity spec. for this tank is. I just measured the dimensions which are 29"x20"x16" then converted cubic inches to volume in gallons. Should be within a gallon.
