To calculate the volume of a cylinder, use the following formula:

pi multiplied by the cylider's radius squared multiplied by the cylinder's height.

Converting to gallons:

Convert cubic feet to gallons by multplying by 7.48051945.

Convert cubic inches to gallons by multiplying by 0.00432900431 Note:

All of the cylinder's dimensions must be in the same unit of measurement in order to proceed! For instance, if the cylinder's height is measured in inches, its radius must be also be measured in inches.

the formula is length x width x height to give you the volume of your tank now convert into cubic feet if it isn't and multiply by 6.239 (it's the amount 1 cubic foot will hold) this will give you your answer.

Hope it helps
