    Exactly. I have that written on my whiteboard, and then I have to convert that to cubic metres.

    We here have proper gallons - each of which would weigh in at ten pounds - so you can only get six and a quarter of them into a cubic foot (if you squeeze real hard).
    Complicated problems usually have simple solutions - which are almost always wrong.

    Bet that goes a long way towards better gas mileage.

    Cast lead weighs 708.5 lbs per cubic foot, not 748.

    there are 231 cu inches in a gallon, to find the volume of a tank
    mult length x width x height divide by 231 and viola.. gallons.
    of course saddle tanks that match the curve of a hull are trickier
    due to the arc.
