Truncated Cone Tank
Calculate the volume, capacity, and surface area of a truncated cone tank. A truncated cone tank is a cone where the top part is cut off parallel to its base.
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
Note: measurement used in the calculation is the diameter length, not the radius length!

Formula
V = 1/3𝝅((T/2)²+(T/2)(B/2)+(B/2)²)H; where V is the volume of the truncated cone 𝝅 = 3.14159265 T the upper diameter B the lower diameter H the height of the truncated cone
