Polyethylene water storage tanks Primary Source??

Does anyone know the primary supplier of polyethylene water storage tanks? I think they are somewhere in downtown LA region.

I got some quotes from some other suppliers and I assume they must order them from one or two of the main plastic molding companies, because they have a 2 week turn around.

Here is a pic for reference,





thanks,

Morgan

Morgan,

I've only seen the green ones available in SoCal. Plastic Mart has a plant I think in N. Cali where they manfacturer the white tanks.

This company has a plant in Gardena. http://www.plastic-mart.com/class.php?cat=9

The ones with starting with a 6 part number are stocked at the Gardena plant.

Here's another company with a plant in Compton: http://www.chemtainer.com/watertanks/vertical.aspx

Do either of those two companies allow onsite pickup to avoid the shipping charges?

JFYI, Here is a response I got from another posting,

This looks like this is the main supplier for all of the tank resellers

What size did you need? Frank at CFC had 3 of the 1000g tanks last time I saw him.

I need a 150 or 200g if anyone has one...
