Line 121: 50 US gallons is less than 20% of a cubic metre. Hoffa was 5 ft 5 (1.65m). A 50 gallon cylinder with a length of 1.65m would have a diameter of 37cm. Not many bodies could fit into that space. Even if the drum was large enough, I highly doubt it would fit in the "trunk of a car". [[User:Anywikiuser|Anywikiuser]] ([[User talk:Anywikiuser|talk]]) 09:25, 28 August 2019 (UTC) 50 gallon drum usually refers to a 200 liter standard drum, where dimensions of a 200-litre drum are typically 584 millimetres (23 in) diameter and 876 millimetres (34.5 in) height. Hoffa's height is not relevant as the drum is not required to allow him to stand full length inside like a coffin, his body would have been stuffed andif necessary dismembered to fit in. The average male human volume is 18-20 gallons (by water displacement), so it is very conceivable to fit a man in a 50 gallon drum. Finally, a 34.5 x 23 inch drum can indeed fit inside a car's trunk.
