Elliptical Cylinder Tank - Millimetres

Calculate the volume and capacity of a elliptical cylinder tank.

Essentially, this elliptical tank is a squashed circle standing on edge. The width has to be smaller than the height of the tank. This calculator uses millimetres for measurements.

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 diameter A of the tank in millimetres
2. diameter B of the tank in millimetres
3. the height of the tank in millimetres
4. the weight of the liquid in kilograms per litre

Results

1. the volume of the elliptical cylinder tank in cubic millimetres
2. the volume in cubic metres
3. the volume in cubic feet
4. the capacity in litres
5. the capacity in US gallons
6. the capacity in Imperial gallons
7. full tank liquid weight based on kilograms/litre

Formula

V= 𝝅HWL/4
where V is the volume
𝝅 = 3.14159265
H is the height of the tank
W half of diameter B
L half of diameter A
