If its one that fits under the rocker seat, and all the way across it will be about 50 litres / 10 gallons. I had one and removed it - Figured I could fill my sink 15 times, and drink water for week before re-filling it. I now use 5 litre day cans.
Seriously though, Width x height x depth = volume = capacity. Mine was triangular in profile so you have to half the result.

This sounds like the same tank with it being the strange shape thought it wouldn't be so easy to work out, ,never was much good at sums

Ah just the info I was looking for.
What do you guys use for cleaning it and how?
Someone said to me simply use baby bottle sterilising fluid or tablets?
