For a round tank, with a flat bottom, the volume per inch is found by:

(Tank Diameter in feet) x (Tank Diameter in feet) x 0.4896 = gallons per inch of tank height

For example, a 4 ft diameter tank holds:

4 x 4 x 0.4896 = 7.833 gallons per inch of height

I've rolled all the little conversion factors into the 0.4896 term.
