Can anyone provide a tank chart showing inches = gallons for a truck mounted, horizontal, oval asphalt tank, 54" H x 72" W x 119" L. They tell me the net capacity is 1200 gallons.
thanks-nancy

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Assuming the "oval" is an ellipse, this page will help you for a partially full tank:
http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55092.html
For a completely full tank, V = (pi)*a*b*L, where a and b are the semi-diameters, 27" and 36", and 1 gallon = 231 in^3, so
V = 3.1416*27*36*119 = 363381.7 in^3,
divided by 232 = 1573 gallons.
If you have external dimensions, you need to allow for the wall thickness of the tank and it would be a bit less. Just estimate the tank wall thicknesses and reduce each of the dimensions above by two thicknesses.
