Its a little overkill for my needs but the price is right if it works for yours.

Hansson said:yeah but he had to burn a long time to get the hole tank warm. The boiler is a 50KW baxi innova

jebatty said:Just for fun, occasionally I do a "pressure tank" search on e-bay, and multi-thousand gallon tanks frequently are listed. Typical prices (plus shipping) are around the $1/gal level. If I built a new home or even a new shop building, I definitely would consider a large pressure tank(s). The 1000 gal (3784 liter) I have is very good; the Tarm Solo 40 heats that very easily into the 180F+ range; and a larger tank with a gasifier definitely has its advantages.
What is the benefit of having it vertical as opposed to horizontal?

I’d strongly consider doing something similar to what some friends of mine just did-- open floorplan house, with lots of south facing windows, and a well-designed (but not super-fancy) masonry heater going up through the center of the dwelling, with extremely good insulation and air sealing in the outside walls.
Could not agree more, exception being I would not fully endorse the masonry heater, mostly because it does not generate the high temps of gasification boilers and therefore is less efficient from a combustion perspective, and because of the extreme efficiency related to low temp radiant systems.
A properly designed and built masonry heater combusts wood using gasification as well and generates the same high temps....Additionally, masonry heaters have efficiency levels at least as high as gasification boilers, some even higher.
