First you have to find the volume of a cylinder:

The volume of a cylinder equals the (area of the base)*height = ¶r2h

Then you have to figure out how much volume a gallon of water takes and make them equal. that will give you the length of tube you need in a particular diameter to hold a gallon of water.

Here is something that may help you:
