1 gallon (US, liquid) = 231 in^3

100 ft of 1/2 in tubing = 1200 in of 1/2 in tubing

1/2 in tubing means diameter = 1/2 in, which means radius = 1/4 in

Area of a circle (tubing cross-section) = Pi * r^2 = Pi * (1/16) = Pi/16

100 ft of 1/2 in tubing = 1200 * Pi/16 in^3 = about 235.619 in^3

Tubing / gallon = 231 in^3 / 235.619 in^3 = about 0.9804

Answer:  100 ft of 1/2 in tubing holds about 0.9804 gallons of water.
