Three engines three thousand pounds 6 pounds per gallon 500 gallons
116,000 cubic inches 67 cubic feet. Not quite a swimming pool.

Would that be a wading pool?  That's a cube roughly 4 ft on

I'm impressed that it only takes 500 gal/minute to lift
something that big. The fuel flow on my old '79 454ci truck
is almost that bad.

No! No! Charlie! That is 500 gallons per SECOND! :-)
