Tank Volume (Rectangular)

Water weighs approximately 1kg per litre, 1000L = 1000Kg, therefore it has a specific gravity of 1.0 (SG=1)

Measure the height, length and width of your tank in meters, then multiply them each in turn, this will give you the volume of the tank in cubic metres (m³)

For example:

A tank measures 2.4m long x 1m high x 0.8m deep

2.4m x 1m x 0.8m = 1.92m³

So a tank of these dimensions would have a volume of 1.92x 1000L = 1920L

Volumetric Weight

Water weighs approximately 1kg per litre, 1000L = 1000Kg, therefore it has a density /specific gravity of 1.0 (SG=1.0)

Remember water weighs 1kg per 1 litre, so 1920 litres of water weighs 1920kg, however if the tank is filled with a different fluid, you will have to consider the following factor which influences the weight of the tank when full.

For example, Diesel Fuel has an approximate SG (Specific Gravity) of 0.82, so it is lighter than water (SG =1.0) so to calculate the weight of diesel in the same sized storage tank, simply multiply the volume(litres) by the specific gravity (SG) of the fluid.

In conclusion, a 45kg tank with a volume of 1920 litres filled with diesel weighs:

[Volume (litres) x fluid density (SG)] + Tank weight (kg) =  gross weight filled (kg)

[1920 x 0.82] + 45 =  1619.4 kg
