A fuel tank with a broken gage 2010-05-28
From Kinsley:
Hello, I have a fuel tank with a broken gage. It is a 2000 gallon tank. The dimensions are 64" dia. x 146" long. The fuel gage doesn't work, so the only measurement I can do is put a stick in it to see what is left. Currently it is at 19". PLEASE NOTE: the tank is laying on its side, meaning the long side is on the ground. So, how do I determine how much fuel is in the tank by the inches remaining? Thank you very much.
