    Measure the tank in centimetres, then multiply length x width x height to work out the volume of the tank in cubic centimetres.

    1,000 cubic centimetres = 1 litre.

    I posted some pics of the 100liter underfloor tank in my old haines. Page 3 of this thread.


    Might give you some ideas.

    My dictionary defines green as ‘unripe, immature, undeveloped'. Perfect description.

    Most political parties are seen as interested in what the voters think, the Greens are seen as thinking the community should be interested in what they think.

    Bill,
    From the hp of your boat I assume it is a tinny (pressed), hence your tank will go across the boat. To maximise the tank capacity for the available space it will need to be a tank as shown. To work out the volume calculate as shown, dimensions in meters.
    cheers
