Just measure the dimensions and calculate the volume. Gee whiz its not hard
Guess you have never actually LOOKED at a real gas tank?
They are not square, rectangle or round in shape, almost always some odd contoured shapes and will have ribs in varying size on top, bottom sometimes sides..
It would be impossible to make all those measurements and come up with the actual volume in gallons.
Typically the manufacturers will allow some air space for expansion so a 35 gallon tank may only take 34 gallons of liquid.
