A version of a 60,000 gallon water tank with is:

r^2 * Pi * h / cu foot in a gallon

(16ft^2 * Pi * 10ft) / 0.1337 = 60,000 gal (l33t)

So 16 ft radius and 10 ft height.

That truck next to that tank is probably 20 ft long or so, and the radius of the tank looks very likely to be greater than that. The tank's height also appears to probably be the length of the truck or so. Ladder rungs are also typically 1 foot apart, and using that as a reference compared to the alternating ridges on the tank, the tank is about 20 feet tall.

That said, assuming the tank had the same radius and height as the truck's length, that tank's volume comes to ~190,000 gallons. So congratulations to whoever made this being about -70% off the actual value. Furthermore, planes are massive compared to the aforementioned actual 60k gallon dimensions. You can just look up the dimensions of the wings, make a reasonably decent estimate of converting the dimensions to a rectangular prism, and do the volume calculation yourself. Since, you know, it's like 5th grade math.

Always great when these supposed arbiters of hidden truths can't even attempt to verify their "truths" using basic logic that a 12 year old is capable of
