Litres is a metric unit .. as it is easy to work out in metric
1 litre = 1,000 cubic centimetres....
so
18" 18x 2.54 = 45.72cm
12" 12x2.54 = 30.48cm
45x 30 x 30 /1000 = 42 litres.

Is that air litres or liquid litres? And dont forget that petrol and water litres are different.
Just kidding.
Go metric young man, far easier than converting cubic inches of water to gallons, quarts, pints, fluid ounces, drops, drips and micro drips.

2592 Cu inches is 74.9 pints (UK)... which is a decent party in my book...
Online Conversion - Volume Conversion

Use metric
For once I'd say use metric. - Measure all the lengths in centimetres (they've been done above).
- Mutliply the lot together to get the volume in cubic centimetres
- Divide by 1000 for litres.
Simple.

are you measuring at the top or the bottom? and is that African tons or UK tonnes?
You could of course fill the tank and measure what goes in

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
