Default Modifying large tanks

In this image you can see two semi fuel tanks, one is 90 gallons the other 120. Both are beinbg fitted with Frybrid in-tank heat exchangers by forming a flat area on the tank top, cutting a hole and tapping and installing mounting bolts.

Very Interesting.

I wonder if one of those would fit under the queen size bed in the back of my bus...? Wonder what the diameter is on the smaller of the two?

Standard diameter is 24". Round tanks have great structrual stability but are a terrible use of space.

If you have a box 24" x 24" x 24" it has a volume of 59.8 gallons
If you have a cylinder 24" in diameter and 24" long it has a volume of 47 gallons. Both take up the exact same amount of space.
