To figure it out yourself

in inches (l x w x h)/231

will give you how many gallons that tank is. A handy formula to remember.

thank but one question are us gallons and european gallons diffrent not sure but i think they may be? if so how much does a us gallon weigh in pounds?

im pretty sure a us gallon is about 0.85 of a euro gallon or imperial gallon

if thats true should be 38 imperial gallons , an imperial gallon weights 8.4 pounds

I think:p
