Follow these instructions:- 1Gallon occupies 0.1604 Cubic Feet(Imperial) when you have calculated the Volume in cubic Feet , divide the result by 0.1604 and that will be the number of Gallons you have. volume of cylindrical pipe V= Area of end X Length = Pie xRadius squared xLength. Convert all the Inch sizes, to Feet sizes. 5.5inch = .4583 so radius is 0.229Ft and Length is 204inch divided by by 12= 17 Ft long Vol = 3.142x0.458x0.458x17 = 11.204 Cubic Feet Fluid Volume = Pipe volume divided by 0.1604 Gallon= 69.85 Gallon NOTE:- if you live in USA a US Gallon does not occupy 0.1604 Ft cubed. Your gallons are Equal to 0.833 of an Imperial gallon . Recalculate the entire problem using 0.1336 Cubic Ft equals 1Gallon . You answer will be larger because your Gallons are smaller than Imperial gallons

This pipe will hold 1,468.8 gallons of water.
About 11.3 feet of 3" pipe can hold 5 gallons of water.
To calculate the volume of a pipe in gallons per foot, you'll need to know the diameter of the pipe. Once you have that information, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (πr²h) and convert the result from cubic inches to gallons.
To find the volume of water in the pipe, we need to calculate the volume of a cylinder. The formula is Volume = πr^2h, where r is the radius (half the diameter) and h is the height (length of the pipe). The radius of a 4-inch pipe is 2 inches (1/6.947 feet), so the volume of water in the pipe is about 18.84 cubic feet. To convert cubic feet to gallons, multiply by 7.48, resulting in approximately 140.72 gallons of water in the pipe.
A 3-inch pipe has a diameter of 3 inches, which corresponds to a radius of 1.5 inches (3 divided by 2). The volume of water that can fit in the pipe can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Converting the measurements to consistent units (inches), the volume of water in the pipe would be approximately 1.321 gallons.
