A gasoline storage tank with a nitrogen 'blanket' of 15 inches of water column pressure, has a 45 foot height and 150 foot diameter. The tank is 85% full. The specific gravity of gasoline is 0.725. What is the pressure at the bottom of the tank? What is the pressure at the top of the tank, just above the liquid level?
