Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

A tank holding 10,000 gallons is 20 ft tall. Another tank only holds ten gallons, but is also twenty ft. tall---if both spring a leak the same size in the bottom--WIll the 10,000gallon tank have more pressure squirting out?

Initially, they will both have a 20' pressure head and leak at the same rate.
Of course, the pressure drops as the level drops, and the level will drop faster in the small tank (assuming the leak is the same size hole.)
