[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-350 VBT

[James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles]

Sorry for confusion.  Vance and Jon are correct.  I made a simple error.
had forgotten to multiply by pie.

WRONG
3.14x(12.7x12.7)x35.5
= 5725 cm3   WRONG
/1000 = 5.7 Litres  WRONG


Correct
3.14x(12.7x12.7)x35.5
= 17988 cm3
/10000 = 18 Litres
+
(4.68 x 2) for Caps = 27.36 litres.

27kg or about 60lb
