What’s the largest tank PKG can manufacture?

What are the differences between XLPE tanks and HDLPE tanks?
The basic differences are in the molecular structure of the materials, which produces performance differences. XLPE, due to the linking of polymer chains, provides superior impact, abrasion, environmental stress cracking, and notch resistance over the linear material.
Where are the pictures of Bill Mitchell?
