Need Help On Math Equation ???

HI!... Hey guys was wondering if you could help me out. I am building a aluminum fuel cell from scratch and I need the math formula to determan how many gallons/liters (CANADA) it will hold. It will measure 30" X 24" x 11". Thanks. Math is not my strong point.

30x24x11 = 7920 cu in x (1 gallon/231 cu in) = 34.3 US liquid gallons

= 34.3 x 3.78 liters/gallon = 130 liters

That's a big fuel cell!!

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches

30 x 24 x 11 = 7920 cubic inches

so that's 34.2857 gallons or 129.7855 liters



edit: desertL2001 beat me to it!

I used google to get the cubic inches in a gallon, but I just entered: "how many gallons in 7920 cubic inches" in google and it came back with the correct answer too... I didn't know if could do that.
