Can someone give me an idea of what dimensions I'll need to get around 10 uk gallons. Obviously it will need to fit in the standard type location.....many thanks

Here's a start - 1 Imperial gal = 3518cc, so 10 Imp gal = 35180cc
(from the back of the Haynes - "Imperial quarts (Imp qt) X 1.137 = Litres (l)" - so... 1 litre (1000cc) / 1.137 = 879.5 (cc's per Imp qt) X 4 = 3518 (cc's per Imp gal))

Pick a length and width in centimeters that'll fit the space, multiply those together, then divide 35180 by that number to get the height. (Or of course start with any 2 of the dimensions, then do the same math to arrive at the 3rd dimension.)
