There really isn't a formal calculation that I know of so here is how I figured it out.
20 X 30 X 36 = 21600 cubic inches
1 cubic inch = 16.387 cubic cm
Therefore 21600 X 16.387 = 353959.2 cubic cm, which = 353959.2 ml, which = 354 liters
.22 Gallons = 1 Liter
Therefore 354 L = 77.8 Gallons
That's my best guess. Hope it helps. ~Jason

One of my conversion numbers was off. I found a much easier way to do this. Go to http://www.sciencemadesimple.net/EASYvolume.html and plug in the cubic inches. The real answer is 93.5 Gallons providing this calculator works properly. Well I'm done. I just hate unsolved math problems. ~Jason

Yeah Chris, this site is great. The hardest part is finding acurate conversion numbers. Every web page had something a little different on gallons to liters. It appears as though there are .264 gallons in a liter. Something I didn't know. 93 gallons is a lot of beer, I mean oil. Take care. ~Jason
