My oil tank is: Length= 5ft, Height = 4ft, Width = 2ft. It holds 1100 litres My
question is, how much oil is represented by 1 inch on a dipstick?

Regards and thanks in advance

Ignoring the thickness of the steel,

volume = 60in x 24in x 1in = 1440 cu in

1440 cu in X 16.3871 = 23579 cc = 23.579 litre per inch

Dividing the 1100 litres capacity by 23.579 litres per inch
gives a height when full within the tank of 46.6 ins.
