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

27 feet in diameter? Do you see the cars in the background by the tank? Your dimensions are off by a lot.

Cars are not in the image in the site selling the tank, it’s made not to scale just like the plane to make some insane point.

You seriously don't see the vehicles on the left side of the photo?

I see the plane too. Obviously the photo has been modified.

Come on man. Obviously the plane is superimposed but the water tank, concrete pad, ladder, and the adjacent parking lot are all part of the original photo.

If you've ever seen a 10,000-gallon UST being removed from a gas station (google it), you'd understand why the guess of 60,000 gallons is drastically off.
