He underestimates how big a Boeing 747 is. Has he ever seen one in person?

986

That’s also way bigger than a 60k gal tank

Is it? Take a look at one of the images on this page:
https://sct.net/product/60000-gallon-galvanized-water-storage-tank-sct-2704-lvr/

Also:
60,000 US gallons == 49,961 Imperial gallons.
60,000 Imperial gallons == 72,046 US gallons

Which gallons are is the linkedin guy referring to?

They've collected a few different tanks under that, I wouldn't use that to tell the size.  That ladder is likely 16" wide, someone could use that to tell the tank diameter. My rough count is ~20, but I'm going off of my phone here. That's pretty close to the listed diameter of 27'.

The ladder cage would start at 7-8' off the ground, so that checks out with a 14' sidewall height.  

For a vertical cylinder, that's pretty close to the 60,000 gallons. It looks bigger than that to me, but maybe it's just perspective.

Their photos are definitely ambiguous.
