Killa said about those dimensions are not counting the hemispherical lids.
So it’s probably more like 80-85L

Is that your way of asking someone to calculate the volume for you?
If so…. Here ya go

I’m sure everyone knows this but LPG solvent storage tanks shouldn’t be filled beyond 80% of max capacity. Why is my Propane Tank Only 80% Filled?
If you’re getting 44 on a 50 that seems like you’re already 4 lbs over the capacity if you purchased a #50 tank.

This is why we sell tanks in liters. I know 50l is roughly a solvent tank at 80% with 50lbs of butane.
Same goes for a 100l tank. That tank will roughly fit 100lbs of solvent filled at 80%.
It’s a fast dirty calculation for the actual amount of solvent needed which allows me to adequately size of the solvent tank for the client.
For example. If a client says I’m extracting 60lbs of dry material. I’m going to tell them 600lbs of solvent is needed roughly for that extraction so a 600L solvent tank is needed. I’ll tell china I need a 600L tank which I know will hold at least 600lbs of solvent at 80% fill. And even that will slow you down. I really don’t like to be above 65% fill.

ive done the math here at least 20x. im pretty confident in what all my stuff holds considering ive been selling the same stuff for a long time now.

You’re the man @Killa12345 cause I’ve seen that math on at least 6 other threads and then I think at few points you said you were tired of doing the math because you’ve said it so many times 
Then the bvv calculator was circulated and now math is lazy again and everyone thinks they know everything when it comes to solvent tank math🙃
I do not know everything about solvent tank math
My timeline is probably off I’ve been here since 2017 and binged like a crazy fucker. I remember when the diamond thread was still low in posts and when I was scared to join this forum because it seemed super obscure… I digress… The autism memory is a bitch I remember a lot of shit it’s like a file cabinet in my mind that I quickly tap through the tabs
… I think the only person on this forum that actually likes math is @TheGratefulPhil …

Lmao . The tank is no where near 30 by 14 u bullshit artist . It’s 12 by 24
Dude I have the fucking tank. I know the exact dimensions and how much it holds . It’s a 44 liter tank. Thanks for minding ur buslisness tho
No bro. It holds 44 a max capacity. I don’t fill it that much
It’s no where near 24” tall. 
. Maybe if you cut off a 1/5…… There are plenty of people who have bought one including the person who gave the right volume.
Keep trying…. 
On Monday. I’ll take a picture of the tank next to a 12x24” spool and you can see the difference since the math ain’t helping. Pictures might help

Does anyone else think the word “Diamond” looks like it’s a word that belongs with the metric system. Like the word “Litre.” ya know what I mean?
Some words just look like they belong in the Metric System. Lightyear is in the Metric Measurement System.
Ik it’s a little off topic but I glanced at the spelling and I said to myself, “I can’t be the only one who thinks what I think.”
I don’t think so

Can we see a picture of the tank next to a tape measure?

I can keep searching the site and posting results to things related to this but I don’t feel like spamming this thread with the same equation. So I’m gonna mute replies now.
