Calculate the total volume by multiplying length x width x height in inches, then multiply by 2/3 to get ideal capacity - this allows for the fact the tank does not fill to the top and the inlet valve is normally around 2/3 the way up. Finally divide by 277 to get capacity in gallons.
Calculate volume -
2 ft x 3ft x 3ft = 24in x 36in x 36in = 31104 cubic inches.
Multiply by 2/3 to get ideal capacity -
31104 cin x 2/3 = 20736 cubic inches.
Convert to gallons -
20736 / 277 = approximately 75 gallons.
