find the volume of the tank by using the equation V = l x w x h

Volume =  14 x 32 x 24 = 10,752 cubic feet

now calculate the number of gallons by dividing total cubic feet by 0.134:

10,752 / 0.134 = 80,238.81 gallons

now multiply the number of gallons by the weight per gallon:

80,238.81 x 8.33 = 668,389.287 pounds

rounded to nearest tenth = 668,389.3 pounds total
