Hi everyone,

I’m trying to verify the volume of a horizontal cylindrical tank based on dipstick readings, but I’m getting different answers, so I’d like to confirm which is correct.

Tank specifications:

• Diameter: 2 meters
• Length: 4.8 meters
• Total capacity: ~15,080 liters

Dipstick readings (from bottom):

• 23 inches
• 51 inches

One set of results I got:

• 23 inches → ~3,662 liters
• 51 inches → ~10,334 liters

Some other results I’ve seen show higher volumes, so I’m not sure which is accurate.

Would really appreciate if anyone can help verify. Thanks!
