Calculate the amount of liquid inside a partial filled vertical elliptical tank or container that sits flat.

This calculator uses feet and inches 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 height of the elliptical tank in feet and or inches
2. the width of the tank in feet and or inches
3. the length of the tank in feet and or inches
4. the depth of the liquid inside the tank in feet and or inches
5. the weight of the liquid in pounds per US gallons

Results

1. the volume of the tank in cubic feet
2. the volume of the tank in cubic inches
3. the volume of the tank in cubic metres
4. the total amount of liquid the tank can hold in US gallons
5. amount of liquid the tank can hold in litres
6. the amount of liquid inside the tank in cubic feet
7. the amount of liquid inside the tank in US gallons
8. the amount of liquid inside the tank in Imperial gallons
9. the amount of liquid inside the tank in litres
10. the amount of liquid inside the tank in hectolitres
11. the weight of the liquid inside the tank based on lbs/gal US
12. the amount of liquid it will take to fill this tank in US gallons

Formula

FV = (HW/4(arccos(1-(2d/H))-(1-(2d/H))Square root = √4 * d / H - 4 * d²/H² ))L
where H is the height of the tank
W the width
d the depth of liquid inside the tank
L the length of the tank
