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 Syke |

Assuming zero wall thickness and truly rectangular tank 5 x 2 x 1/12 = 1.2 cu ft which is a little over 7.5 gallons, or 34 litres. Checking for reasonability, your 1100 litres should therefore occupy 1100/34 inches, which is about 2.7 feet I leave it to you to adjust the figures to reflect the actual shape of your tank.

Assuming it's rectangular, it's 4 feet (48 inches) high. Thus 1 inch is 1/48th of its capacity - 1100 litres - thus it's 1100/48 = 22.9 lites.

Assuming it's rectangular, it's 4 feet (48 inches) high. Well, I was trying to give the hint to the O/P that it was not really difficult to get an answer Thus 1 inch is 1/48th of its capacity - 1100 litres - thus it's 1100/48 = 22.9 lites. I got the same "next level of approximation" a different way, multiply by 1100/1132nds to allow for the net/gross volume, but answers to 1/10th of a litre for a question expressed in feet seems over-precise; talking to a neighbour the other night about a replacement radiator Q: how big is the current one? A: 700mm by 4 feet |

I also hear on the Irish radio on long wave that they are discussing about
getting funding from the eu for more border controls between n and s Eire. The problem is that there are legal agreements on the power sharing agreed in the Good Friday Agreement which makes it almost impossible to legally build border controls again. So what now.

Thought taking back control over 'our' borders was one of the most important things the BREXITs wanted? Not much point if Scotland is in the EU and England not - with no border controls. Rather easier to cross than the English Channel. Also a smugglers paradise - unless England has the same deal with the EU as an EU member. Still, i'm confident that Jeremy could sort it, yea right.

Top and bottom will be narrower so you will get less oil per inch. Except that the tanks aren't true barrels. They alternate round cross sections with rectangular. With the both having the same width at the center. So although some of the tank does get narrower the rest is staying the same. On our tank this means that the amount of oil per unit depth is pretty close to, if not actually, linear. -- Cheers Dave. |
