Cubic inches per gallon????

[RANGER]

Do any of you know how many cubic inches there are in a gallon?? I'm trying to figure out the capacity of my built-in fuel tank on the boat. I bought it used and the owner had no clue. I can get the dimensions of the tank. There are no tags on the tank, no owners manual. I want to avoid emptying it out or running it out if I can.

Help?

I beleive it is 231 cubic inches or close enough to get you there. It could actually be a little higher. Measure the dimensions HxWxD of a milk jug and multily for the cubic. Then take your tanks total cubic inches and divide by the milk jug total. This will give you a pretty good idea. Error on the side of less for peace of mind. :-)

231 is the correct answer as in the first post.

Divide the volume of the tank in cubic inches by 231 which will give you the tank volume in gallons. (1728 Cubic inches / Cubic FT)x (1 Cubic FT / 7.48 gallons) = 231 Cubic inches / gallon.
