PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure volume with high accuracy, even when an item to be measured, such as a liquid fuel, etc. runs short in a container, as in a relatively big tank, including a liquid fuel tank. SOLUTION: An apparatus for measuring a volume includes a second container arranged in a first container, in which the thing to be measured which is, for example, liquid fuel is held, a guide means which guides the item to be measured in the second container, a resonance tube which communicates with external space from an internal space of the second container, a sound wave generating means for generating sound wave in the internal space of the second container, and a processing means for obtaining the volume of the item to be measured in the internal space of the second container. The first container has an ejection port for ejecting the item to be measured, to the outside in a part that is included in the second container. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
