[C320-list] Third water tank

[David Hayes]

Further clarification after scratching my head over this issue:  a gallon in U.S. terminology apparently equates to 3.8 litres, but in Australia and UK and some other places our “gallon” is closer to 5 litres, so I think the original author of the article may have not picked that up when he said the tank holds 95 litres when it’s actually 76.

But, in researching, I have actually found that a cubic mm space of the Todd 20 gallon tank dimensions is in fact only 76 litres, not 95.  Still a good lot of additional water but not the 95 the original article stated.  Will let you know if I bother to proceed.
