A useful equation..

[paris]

for those of you like me who have odd sized tanks-or buy them 2nd hand and dont know their capacity- here is a useful equation i got from a medication bottle (oddly its not on all of them) LxWxH/231= gallons

for those of you who use meters and liters i dont know the conversion -but liters are in cubic units of a base 10 system -so im guessing its just LxWxH

is that equation not for imperial gallons?

here is a handy link...

No, rebel colonist gallons. LOL!

In these EU days, imperial gallons are the new rebel colonist gallons!

 

[jesper]

Yeah, Colin and Alan. It is time for your country to conform, no more driving on the wrong side of the road(dangerous!!) and using those silly standards

. I bet GB planted the standards in the US to weaken the logistics of future rebellions....

actually it's LxWxH (in cms) / 1000 (or just drop a zero in each number)

What did Russ mean by "rebel colonist gallons"? Did he mean "real" gallons?

 

[russ]

No, it was a pun on our former status as a colony. Stay with us Dave!
