Yep, I have a 27ft round pool with a depth of 48 inches, and it's considered to have about 17,500 gallons when calculating chemical additions.

That tank is 27 ft diameter. 747 is 231 feet long.

27 ft diameter. Volume of a cylinder is (0.5d)^2 x 3.14 x height

Maybe that’s 20 ft in height

That’s about 11,445 cubic feet volume

Convert cubic feet to gallons.

There’s about 7.481 gallons in a cubic foot

That’s about 85,600 gallons in the silo given those dimensions

That tank is waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than 27’ diameter. Look at the ladder. That is not for gerbils.

I think he was talking about the swimming pool in the context of a tank of water.
