The fuel tanks are all the same volume/configuration and the water tanks are equal too. As I recall, each inch for the fuel represents about 3 gallons, and 4 gallons for the water. I merely filled the tanks full and took the inch readings (gallons divided by inches). Seems to have worked out OK/good enough.
