Hi PJ,

Thats what I get, 718gal

Depending on how thick your metal is and design, the tank could go oval on you because of the water pressure. Thats why most water tanks are round. Most square tanks for on the road use are oval for this very reason or the tank will stress crack out with-in a short time.

Round water tanks are built on the 2/3 rule, tank diameter is 2/3 of it's height for static pressure tanks and 1/3-length/height for pressure vessels.

Steel tanks for trailer use should be minmium 14ga depending on the size.

The tank will weigh about 6300lbs full so a good base ( 8" concrete preferred) 6" of 3/4" river rock toped with 6" sand with a 10ga steel band at ground level is required.
