Ok, well I got one mother of an equation:

You take
Depth = what was measured on your dip stick
r = radius of barrel
L = length of barrel

Volume = L*r^2*(Cos^-1( (r-Depth)/r ) - (1/2)Sin(2*Cos^-1( (r-Depth)/r )))

Just to make it more readable
z = (r-Depth)/r

Volume = L*r^2*( Cos^-1(z) - (1/2)Sin(2Cos^-1( z) ))

Anyone care to confirm or deny this?
