How to Calculate Horizontal Oval Tank Volume in Imperial Units

Determine volume of an oval cross-section horizontal tank in gallons and cubic feet. Enter dimensions and fill level in inches or feet.

Example: an oval tank 4.5 ft wide, 3 ft high, and 8 ft long holds about 630 gallons full. At 1 foot fill, it holds roughly 125 gallons.

Common for residential heating oil tanks and underground fuel storage.
