The radius is 18 ft and the height is 36 ft

It depends on the dimensions of your tank.
The volume of a cylindrical tank is π·r·²·h, where "r" is the radius (half the diameter) of the tank and "h" is the height of the tank.
If you're using feet to measure the radius and width, the volume will be in cubic feet. If you multiply this by 7.48052, you'll have the volume in gallons.
If you're using inches to measure the radius and width, the volume will be in cubic inches. Like rhsaunders (below) says, if you divide this by 231, you'll have the volume in gallons.

volume of the tank=pi*r^2*h where 'r' is the radius of the base and 'h' is the height of the cylindrical or round tank
substituting v=3.14*18*18*36 cft=36624.96 cft
231 in^3=1 U.S.gallon
so the answer in gallons will be=36624.96*12*12*12/231
273974 gallons

Assuming that you mean a cylinder, then the formula for volume is V = pi * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Measure the radius and the height in inches (or convert to them), then plug into the formula above. Divide this by 231 in order to convert cubic inches to gallons. (This assumes the U.S. gallon and not the Imperial gallon.)

It's easy if the tank is a cylinder with flat ends. Get the volume in cubic inches by multiplying the area of an end (using pi r squared) by the length, all in inches. Divide the result by 231 to convert to gallons, and you're done.

Volume of Cylinder of radius r and hight h is : π r² h
You now need to know what volume one gallon take. This cubic value is divided into the formula above to know how many gallons will fit into the tank.

volume of a cylinder so pi times the radius squared times the height of the tank
pi x (radius x radius) x height

Pi*r^2*h=volume
3.414*18*18*36=V
1cft =6.23lts
so now one can finf the no of gallons

To calculate the volume of a cylinder, calculate the area of the footprint (the base), multiply by the height, and convert to volume.
Volume = (pi)r^2 x h

Gallons to be filled is given by (3.17Xd^2/4)Xh and divide by 4.5 if the dimensions are in cms.

capacity of tank : Volume:22/7 x 18x18 x36 cu ft
(In cuyard) :22x18x18x36/7/27
: 1357.714 cu yds
In cu metres or 1000 litres: 1357.714/1.3080
(1.3080 cu yd=1cu m=1000Lit)
=1038 *** or
1038000 lit or
(4.5461 lit=1gal) =228329.3 gallons
Capacity:228329.30 gallons.
