If the tank was full, that would be a true statement. Using just rough calculations, compare these two drawings:
1. 38"d x 60"l -- means that the tank is roughly 40% full:
15/38=0.3947%
2. 38"d x 60"h -- means that the tank is roughly 25% full:
15/60=0.25%
There are several variables that were not included with the OP:
1. Is the tank vertical or horizontal? I asked that question because a LOT of times I see items for sale with measurements that are given incorrectly; ie., it may be listed as l (length) when it should be listed as h (height).
2. Is the tank actually round, or is 38" simply the circumference? Again, I see that mistake made often.
3. Are the ends flat, or are they convex?
4. Are the measurements internal or external? If external, what's the wall thickness? Is the wall thickness even on all sides?
5. Are there any bladders or other items inside the tank that take up space, such as with a water well's pressure tank? This being a fuel tank, there are likely not any bladders inside. BUT, I don't know if ALL fuel tanks would be bladder-free.
6. How precisely was the remaining fuel/liquid measured? If off by even 1/8", that would affect the final measurement....depending on how precise of a measurement you wish to have.
Along with that last thought, was the tank perfectly level when measured?

Today's Featured Article - Measuring with Calipers - by Staff. The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
