Default Calculating gallons

"Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe" "The wrote:
7.48 gallons in a cubic foot.

3.14* diameter*Depth * 7.48 = gallons (diameter and depth in feet)


3,14*diameter gives you the circumference of the circle. When multiplied by
the depth, it gives you the surface area of the right circular cylinder,
not its volume.
