Dave & Jim are right...
Diesel tank
29 Dia / 14.5 radius
13 High
Lube Oil tank
13 Dia / 6.5 radius
11 High
1 cubic foot = 7.48 US gallons
Volume of a cylinder
(Pi*R^2)*Height
Diesel tank
3.14*14.5^2*13*7.48
~ 64,200 gallons
Lube Oil tank
3.14*6.5^2*11*7.48
~ 10,900 gallons
Your 43,000 and 256,000 calulations sound like it's roughly the capacity in litres (conversion factor 3.78 litres/US gallon).
