Answer:

The maximum volume of the fuel is:

$V_(fuel)=1.20 \: m^(3)$

Explanation:

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

$V=\pi r^(2)h$

$V=\pi (0.6^(2))(1.25)$

$V=1.41 \: m^(3)$

If the tank can be filled to 85% of its capacity, the maximum volume of the fuel will be:

V_(fuel)=1.41*((85)/(100))

$V_(fuel)=1.20 \: m^(3)$
