    Find the volume of the tank by using the equation V = l x w x h

    Volume = 14 x 32 x 24 = 10,752 cubic feet

    now calculate the number of gallons by dividing total cubic feet by 0.134:

    10,752 / 0.134 = 80,238.81 gallons

    now multiply the number of gallons by the weight per gallon:

    80,238.81 x 8.33 = 668,389.287 pounds

    rounded to nearest tenth = 668,389.3 pounds total
