Hi,
I noticed that when switching between metric and imperial units, the tank volume is not recalculated. Is this a bug or a feature?
Also, when using imperial units, should the volume be the amount of air the tank holds under working pressure (e.g. 100 ft^3) or the volume of water that fits into the tank (e.g. 0.46 ft^3)?
cheers,
h.

Re: tank volume
It is in cubic feet.
The volume doesn't change when you switch. It was just how I originally implemented it.

Re: tank volume
The unit changes though and it seems to use Liters correctly when using metric.
I am still not sure about the second part of my question.

Re: tank volume
The label changes, the value does not.
It's the working pressure in cubic feet, eg 3000 PSI.

Re: tank volume
Sorry if I have not been clear, but the second part of my original post was about what volume to use. For example for a HP100 do I use 100 cu. ft. or 0.45 cu. ft. (internal volume of the tank)? And is this the same just in liters if I want to use metric?
