Working Out Litres/gallons Of A Tank

[xander_chookeypud]

Hey, this might be a dumb question but does anyone know how to work out how many litres/gallons of water a tank will hold if you only have the measurements? In this example the measurements are 48" X 12" X 15". Ive always wondered how to do this, and ive tried searching the internet but i am having troubles with the keywords to type into google for working out things like this! Keep getting irrelevant pages come up! Quite irritating to say the least

Cheers Xander

I have a book that came with some meds and i worked mine out from that. Your tank is 29 gallons (UK) i know this as i have one the same size. Theres a convertor in the pinned topics but that just shows you US and UK gallons and Liters.

Thanks a lot for your help- a little less stressed out now lol. Thats a great website though, have just saved the link to go on it in future!

For anyone else who doesn't know here are the calculations on how to do it all:

Length x width x height = ? cm3

There are 1000cm3 to a litre

Now the bit i always get confused with...

There are 3.785 litres to a US gallo and...

There are 4.546 litres to a metric gallon.

so divide how many litres you have by which gallons you want to find out!

And if you ever want to do other obscure conversions (metric, standard, whatever) go to Onlineconversion.com

For volume and conversion calculations there is also:

But this is probably not as good as the first one but handy if the other one is down though.

A good unit converter can be found at:

Click on the download button to veiw his programmes. Quite a few handy ones there, Unit Converter is what I use, World Time Clock comes in handy being in Australia as I am always in a different time zone from the larger countries.

Hope these help.
