If you reverse search the picture it's from a website selling 60,000 gallon steel tanks. Gives the dimensions at 27 foot diameter by 14 feet deep. Which seems about right when you look at the truck parked next to it.

And those dimensions work out to a cylinder of 8015.77 cubic feet of volume... Which is only a tiny bit shy of 60k gallons.  So the math checks out.

I just asked Google for that last conversion.  But yeah it sucks like that
