About This Calculator
This calculator determines the liquid capacity of storage tanks in gallons, liters, and cubic feet. It supports common tank shapes including vertical cylinders, horizontal cylinders (capsules), and rectangular/square tanks.
Note: The weight calculation assumes the tank is filled with water (density ≈ 8.34 lbs/gal or 1 kg/L). For other liquids (like fuel or oil), the weight will vary based on specific gravity.
