tank volume

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.

It is in cubic feet.

The volume doesn't change when you switch. It was just how I originally implemented it.

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.

The label changes, the value does not.

It's the working pressure in cubic feet, eg 3000 PSI.

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?
