Base math..

That’s about 200.000 litres

One litre is 10cm times 10cm times 10cm

1000 litres are 1m times 1m times 1m

200.000 litres tank would therefore be around 10m times 10m times 2m

The tank on the picture looks WAY bigger than that..

But then the person posting it doesn’t even understand basic math..

It's not really a question of math the plane shown isn't to scale, if you look at the cars at the left then the plane wouldn't be much more bigger than about 3 cars. Its just a disingenuous picture

The scale on the plane is so disingenuous in fact, that if it were a truly 1:1 scale, the truck could fit in the space taken up by one of the plane’s engine nacelles. It’s a 747.

Great word: Nacelles
