Re: di-dum di-dum calc

same as mine kids these days can only work to one decimal point thats on a good day.
won`t tar them all with same brush.

Here\'s the formula

Very simple.
Multiply all dimensions in decimeteres (ie centimetres/10) together. Answer is directly in litres.
Thus your tank is 36 x .254 x 14 x .254 x 12 x .254 = 9.14 x 3.55 x 3.05 = 98.96 litres to be precise.
If the tank was measured in centimetres it would be much easier.

Re: Here\'s the formula

Murphy's Law states all measurements will be in there least usable forms, eg. speed will be measured in furlongs per fortnight!

Isn't it 1 cu/ft = 6.22 Gals this is from memory!

I have a little conversion program which does every unit to every other unit.
Give me somewhere to park it and anyone can pick it up its's about 500ish Kb
