    Cylindrical or Rectangular Tank Capacity Calculator

    getcalc.com's fuel or water tank capacity calculator is an online basic geometry tool & formulas to measure the capacity of cylindrical or rectangular tank, in US customary & metric (SI) units (Gallons & Liters).

    Steps to Find Capacity of a Rectangular Tank

    The step by step workout for how to find what is the capacity of a rectangular tank. Students may use this tank capacity calculator to generate work with steps for any other similar input values.Workout :
    step 1 Address the formula, input parameters and values
    Length = 10 in
    Width = 5 in
    Height = 8 in

    step 2 Input Conversion for length, width, height
    Convert in to m all input values
    Length = 10 x 0.0254 = 0.254 m
    Width = 5 x 0.0254 = 0.127 m
    Height = 8 x 0.0254 = 0.2032 m

    step 3 Apply the values in volume formula
    Volume V = length x width x height
    = 0.254 x 0.127 x 0.2032 m³
    Volume = 0.0066 m³

    step 4 Capacity of Rectangular Tank in Liters
    Capacity in Liters = (Volume in cubic meter) x 1000
    = 0.0066 x 1000
    Capacity in liters = 6.5548

    step 5 Capacity of Rectangular Tank in Gallons
    Capacity in Gallons = (Capacity in liters) / 3.7854
    = 6.5548/3.7854
    Capacity in Gallons = 1.7316

    Tank Capacity & Formulas

    Tank Capacity is a measure of how much maximum Gallons or Liters of fuel or water a cylindrical or rectangular tank can contain, based on its volume space.
