Quick answer

Use the horizontal cylinder segment formula: calculate the filled circular segment area from liquid height, then multiply by barrel length and convert cubic centimeters to liters.

Examples

Diameter Length Height Volume
58 cm 89 cm 14.5 cm 45.9711 L
58 cm 89 cm 29 cm 117.5725 L
58 cm 89 cm 43.5 cm 189.1739 L
60 cm 90 cm 30 cm 127.2345 L

Measurements needed

You need inside diameter, inside length and liquid height. Outside barrel dimensions can overstate the remaining oil volume.

Common mistake

A half height in a horizontal cylinder is half the volume, but other heights are not linear. Use the segment formula instead of height percentage alone.
