Thanks

Accurately - weigh it and compare to the tare weight that should
hopefully be listed on the tank data plate.

How do ypu propose lifting the 500 gallon tank onto a scale?

verrrry carefully

You don't need to lift it very high. With a crane scale attached to the
crane or forklift you only need to get the tank off the ground, 1/4"
would be enough.

Actually I expect that a standard floor jack and a set of electronic
scales as used for race cars would do nicely. You'd only need to lift
each end of the tank a few inches to slip the scales under the feet.
