volume of tank

[Lily]

Ok, my head is on the chopping block here - showing my ignorance of maths.
I have been searching for the formula to use in calculating the volume of
water my tanks are holding, I need it in litres. Can any of you tell me
the basic formula for calculating this?

Cheers

Cancel that - just found a site, which also has octaganal tank calcs as
well...

Here's another one - no math involved. :) Only for squares and rectangles
though..

Use google :-) Just enter '55 gal in litres' for an instant conversion

It's a google 'hidden' feature that will convert between many measures. I
use it a lot for temp and weight conversions.

The default is US gallons. If you need imperial, just specify, ie, 55
UK gallons in liters (or 55 imperial gallons in liters)

You can also do 24 inches * 12 inches * 12 inches in gallons, or 2 ft
* 1 ft * 1.5 ft in liters, etc

However, it won't make allowance for gravel or glass thickness in it's
calculations but there are other calculators that will.
