Answer: 1356 cubic feet

Explanation:

The volume of cylinder is given by :_

$Volume = \pi r^2l$ , where r is the radius and l is the length of the cylinder.

Given : A cylindrical diesel fuel holding tank has a radius of r= 6 feet and a length of l=12 feet.

Therefore,

$Volume=\pi (6)^2(12)\\\Rightarrow\ Volume=3.14*(36)(12)=1356.48\approx1356$

Hence, the volume of cylindrical diesel fuel holding tank =1356 cubic feet

Therefore, the maximum volume of fuel the tank can hold 1356 cubic feet.
