Depending on the configuration of the tank, you can use the following formula to determin the tank capacity for water.
Length X Width X Heighth in inches, divided by 231, equals gallons.
Of course you must subtract a little because of the tank thickness.
AS an example, what is the capacity of a cubic foot? 12" X 12" X 12" equals 1728. Dividing that by 231 gives you almost 7.5 gallons.
