Residential Oil Tank
A low-poly 275 gallon Granby vertical oil tank modeled in Blender 2.9, with notes on the fill, vent and gauge ports. On CGTrader.
My day job has me designing an oil recovery system for a hydraulic coupling. It’s a complex oil system that uses a residential oil tank. I was surprised to find little in the way of online resources for such a common architectural 3D asset.
So I spent a little extra personal time on this model. I modeled the tank in Blender 2.9. It’s a 275 gallon Granby vertical oil tank. It is available at CGTrader:

There are other accessories for the tank. Maybe I will model these at a later date.
Note that there are five 2″ ports on top. In an actual assembly in a house, there would be two 2″ pipes extending from the top of the tank. One of the pipes is a fill pipe. The other is a vent pipe. Both are usually routed to outside. One of the remaining holes has a float gauge in it.
My goal was to make a low poly model so there are some details missing…like the discharge port on the bottom and the threads on the plugs.
The discharge port is for a 1/2″ pipe which supplies a burner. There should be an oil filter between the tank and the burner.
