You better have a very strong roof because 2000*8.5=17,000 lbs of water without the weight of the tank etc..
That pressure should be, assuming a 10 ceiling, 10 + 14=24*.433= 10.39 psi when the tank is filled to the max and less as water is used out of the tank. That also assumes the outlet of the tank is on the floor of the building.

Good catch Gary. I read that as a 14' ceiling, and I didn't add the water level in the tank. 10 PSI when the tank is full sounds better.

Well after I posted I thought I didn't read the 14' ceiling, I read it as the tank, so I guess he's covered for all possibilities now.

The down pipe size makes no difference. The psi will be the same.
