How to Calculate Gallons in a Container

1. Measure the interior length, width, and depth of a rectangular or square container.
2. Calculate the container’s volume in cubic inches.
3. Divide the total number of cubic inches by 231 to get the number of gallons in the container.

Multiply its width by its height by its depth. The result is the cubic feet of space the tank holds. Multiply the result by 7.48. The answer is the number of gallons of water the tank holds.
