The physical size of my home's new hot water tank is 593 US liquid gallons. And it only holds 40 gallons of water. That's about 550 gallons of insulation!

Hmmm...79 gallons based on a calculator. That makes far more sense!
I see now I had used a converter from mm^3 to gallons but that converter was wrong.

Aye. And we also have US wet and dry gallons. So if a 40 US wet gallons water tank contains 10 US dry gallons of sediment, what is its wet capacity?

I just asked Google "if a 40 US wet gallons water tank contains 10 US dry gallons of sediment, what is its wet capacity?"
Google responded: "Who cares? It's time to replace your tank, you dumb shit!"

You should hear what Alexa tells me to do when she's upset with me. And I've tried...but can't!
