Hi Dan and thanks,
I saw a correction factor of (.000055)-1 per degree F for kerosene in my search and I was hoping for something like that. I'm using pi*a^2/2 - a^2*arcsin(1-h/a) - (a-h)*sqrt(h(2a-h)) to calculate a partially full cylindrical. You mention CTL, what does this stand for?

Hi jmw,
Thanks for the reply. That's a little beyond my scope. I was hoping for a formula that I could plug into a VB program I'm writing. I have two variables to work with and they are temperature and depth of fuel. Is this enough information to calculate a change in volume?

Hello,
I hope someone can help me out. I am looking for a formula that I can use to calculate the change in volume due to temperature change in home heating oil. For example if I have 175 gallons in a 275 gallon tank on a 60 degree day and the depth of the fuel oil measures 31.2 inches, what...
