I’m trying to figure out how many gallons a 19” wide x10” hi x 56” long tank will hold. I measured in inches.

If my math is correct, it's a little over 46 gallons.

That tank has 10,640 cubic inches.
That is 46.06 US gallons.
It would all be easier to calculate if we used the metric system....

Well, let's see: 1 liter is 1,000 cubic centimeters and weighs exactly 1 kilogram or 1,000 grams of water. It's funny how easy it is. Using a medieval measurements system in 2009, that is not funny.

You ask too many question, but if you must know. I have a new skate board with a 3cyclender diesel on it and I just made this new fancy back pack. I’m hopping I can get back and forth a couple of days on it. Now all I need to do is figure out how or where to wire up the head lights and blinkers. Then I’ll strap on my leather full face helmet and off I’ll go.
