Multiply the dimensions together
eg. 2' x 3' x 3' = 18' cubed
1 cubic foot = 28.3 litres
So 2x3x3 = 509 litres

Depends if its round or rectangular.
If round, pi x d x h
2.142 x diameter x height will give you the volume in cubic units
If rectangular or square
l x b x h
Length x breadth x height
will again give you the cubic volume
I could have said "the same as you would for a hot one" but I'm not that mean.

Volume for a rectangular tank is length x width x height(to water level).
Measure in decimetres (thats 10 cm per decimetre), and your answer will be in litres.

If rectangular and you want it in Imperial: -
Volume: Length x width x height (of water):
(all in Inches or Feet) = in³ or ft³.
In Metric.. same measurements in cm or m = cm³ or m³.
If cylindrical:
Volume: Area of end x height (or length).
Imperial: Again, inches or feet: Ï x r x r x h = in³ or ft³.
1ft³ water = 62.4 lb = 6.24 gal
Metric: Same formula using cm or m = cm³ (cc) or m³
1 cc water = 1 gram. 1m³ water = 1,000 litres.

Length x width x depth up to fill level
