Lebowski Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I might be buying a tank off a frien od mines. It's pretty big, I think it's a 40 gallon or 50. Anyways, how do you tell how big it is? Is there any formula? Link to comment
hjk1173 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 LxWxH (in feet) gets feet/3...1 foot/3 is ~7.48 gal... Example.. AGA 20L=2.5x1x1=2.5 feet/3 (x) 7.4 = 18.7.............close to 20 ....you can prettymuch round off a gallon or three... Link to comment
lizbeth Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 40 or 50, short, long, or tall? Have your friend measure it for you. What a concept! Link to comment
Bruce Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Easy method LxWxH devided by 231. 231 cubic inches in a gallon. Link to comment
Lebowski Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Yeah we are going to measure it, I just wanted to know how to tell how big it is with the measurements. Thanks! Link to comment
