Need average depth -- deep end in feet; shallow end in feet added together, divided by 2 = average depth. Then, L x W x Avg. Depth x 7.5 = approximately the total gallons in your pool.

The radius of the tank is 3 feet.

The area of the cross-section is
pi * r^2

pi * 3^2 foot^2
= 9 * pi foot^2

The volume is
cross-section * length
= (9 * pi foot^2) * 17 foot
= 153 * pi foot^3

There are roughly 7.481 gallons/cubic foot, so the pipe contains

(7.481 gallons/(foot^3)) * (153 * pi foot^3)
= 7.481 * 153 * pi gallons
= 3595.61 gallons (rounded)

A gallon is a measure in 3-dimensional space. 16 foot x 4 foot are measurements of area in 2 dimensional space. Very basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot equate (or convert) measurements with different dimensions.

It depends on how deep it is. To find it you multiply the length times width time depth. So it would be 16x48xz (x is a multiplication sign, and z is the depth)
