Determine volume of a horizontal elliptic tank in gallons and cubic feet. Enter width, height, length, and fill level in inches or feet.
Example: an elliptic tank 5 ft wide, 3 ft high, and 10 ft long holds about 882 gallons full. At 1 foot fill height, it contains roughly 160 gallons.
Common for underground fuel tanks and transport tankers with reduced height profiles.
