It depends on the diameter and length of the tank, as well as the shape and the position or pitch of the tank. Assuming this 550 gallon tank is a 36" diameter x 125" long horizontal cylinder, the volume of a particular depth can be figured by the following formula:
[(r x r) /(2 (a - sina)) x l )] /230.9 = volume in gallons if h < r
a = ((inverse cos(r-h/r)) x 2 ; Angle created by the chord (2 x sin(1/2a))
h = depth in inches (less than r)
r = radius of the tank in inches
l = length of the tank in inches
230.9 = volume in cu. in. of 1 gallon
so for 1 inch depth in this particular tank r-h =17;inverse cos(17/18) = inv.cos.9444 = 19.19; a = 38.38 degrees;l=125; r=18 ; h=1
plugging these into the formula we get:
[(18 x 18) /(2(38.38 - sin(38.38))) x 125] /230.9
= [(324)/(2(38.38 - 0.6209)) x 125 ] / 230.9
= [324/(2(37.7590)) x 125] / 230.9
= (324/ 75.518) x 125/ 230.9
= 4.29 x 125 / 230.9
= 536.25 / 230.9
= 2.322 gallons
**as h increases the volume per inch increases, so the volume needs to be calculated for each measurement. If h > r then substituting (diameter-h) in this formula for h then subtracting the result from [.7854(d x d) x l] / 230.9 will get you the greater volume.
An international acre is 4840 square yards or 6,212,640 square inches.An imperial gallon is 277.14 cubic inches.6,212,640 divided by 277.14 = 22,610 gallons approximately.A US liquid gallon is 231 cu inches hence 1 acre inch = 27,154.3 US gallons (rounded)
None - an inch is a distance, a gallon is a volume. They are not directly linked.
Well, you know there are 43,560 square feet in an acre, and you know there are 12 inches to a foot. The next clue you need is a conversion factor from volume in gallons to the units of area, which in this case is inches; so, there are 231 cubic inches to a gallon. You now have all the information you need to algebraically determine the number of gallons in an acre inch.

according to the USGS, 1" of rain peracre = 27,154 gallons; so 1" of rain on 100 acres would be 2,715,400 gallons

One cubic inch is equal to 0.004329004 gallons. (cubic inches) * 0.004329004 = gallons
Here is a tank chart that should help. Generally, the oil tank has a bit of "headroom" at the top, so, for example, a 275 gallon tank only holds about 256 gallons of useable fuel. Check with your local fuel company to determine the useable fuel volume your tank contains. http://www.sippin.com/oil%20tank%20measure%20chart.htm

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches 1 cubic inch = 0.004329 gallon (rounded)
A 150-gallon drum contains 0.0036 gallon per cubic inch.
One gallon.
110.2 gallons per inch.
Approx 18.18 US gallons. Here's how: 1 US gallon = 231 in³. So we have (14 in)(50 in)(6 in)/(231 in/gallon) = 18.18 gallons.
It depends entirely on the shape of the tank.
13.9 gallons per inch of depth.
This is an 80 gallon tank.
