You need to work out the volume of the tank: length x breadth x height. Then you need a conversion between your volume unit and gallons. For instance, if you have used cubic feet, multiply by 7.48 to get US liquid gallons. If you have different units, or you want UK gallons, you will find conversions here:http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm

You empty the fluid out into a measuring container.

The tank may not be full to start with so measuring the dimensions of the tank will not give you the answer.
