Cylinder Tank Horizontal - Feet

Calculate a horizontal cylinder-shaped tank volume, capacity, and surface area.
This calculator uses feet for measurements.

Approximate weight of Fuel or Water

one US gallon of water = 8.34 pounds.
one US gallon of diesel fuel = 7.1 pounds
one US gallon of gas = 6 pounds 

Calculator

1. enter the length of the tank in feet
2. the diameter in feet
3. the weight of the liquid in pounds per US gallon

Results

1. the volume of the cylinder tank in cubic feet
2. the volume in cubic inches
3. volume in cubic metres
4. tank capacity in US gallons
5. capacity in Imperial gallons
6. capacity in litres
7. full tank liquid weight based on lbs/gal US
8. the surface area of the tank in square inches
9. the surface area in square feet
10. the surface area in square millimetres
11. the surface area in square metres

Formula

V=𝝅(D/2)*L
where V is the volume
𝝅 = 3.14159265
D the diameter
L the length of the tank
