Stop guessing...

Manual way...

Lazy way...

Mind you don't get your radius and your diameter mixed up.


And here's how to put marks on the outside or a sight glass mark for level indicators or to make a dipstick..

Nice boiler and the puppy standing next to it looks pretty serious.

I would be really interested to hear about the volume, runtime (Stripping etc).

Even lazier way.... fill it up with water, empty the water into a container that you know the volume of, continue until you run out of water and tally up how many times you filled the other container :)
