Calculate a tank's volume, capacity and surface area in the shape of an egg. This calculator uses metres for measurements, requiring the diameter at the widest part of the egg shape, plus two height measurements from above and below this point.

Approximate weight of Fuel or Water

one litre of water = 1 kilogram
one litre of diesel fuel = 0.832 kilogram
one litre of gas = 0.75 kilogram

Calculator

1. enter the length A in metres
2. the length B in metres
3. the diameter of the tank in metres
4. the weight of the liquid in kilograms per litre

Results

1. the volume of the tank in cubic metres
2. the volume in cubic centimetres
3. the volume in cubic inches
4. the volume in cubic feet
5. the capacity of the tank in litres
6. the capacity in hectolitres
7. the capacity in US gallons
8. the capacity in Imperial gallons
9. full tank liquid weight based on kilograms/L
10. the surface area of the tank in square metres
11. the surface area in square centimetres
12. the surface area in square inches
13. the surface area in square feet

Formula

V = 2/3𝝅(D/2)²H
where V is the volume
𝝅 = 3.14159265
D the diameter of the egg tank on its widest point
H the height of the egg
