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.
