This may not satisfy you by 100% but IMO, during designing, for most common or regular tank shape, simple math formulas can be used by engineers to calculate tank volume.
Here are a few examples:

For more complicated and irregular shape, like motorcycle tank, math as well, but formulas are much more complicated/combined.... but now days, there might be special computer programs...
