    V=0.00000000303 cubic meters
    V=0.00303 ml

    but i'll admit I use the air bubble too, but it's always been pretty much for peace of mind. can't go wrong with it; i heard it's taught to the nursing majors at my school to do it that way

    edit: woops i believe i used a slightly different gauge at first, my first post has been edited to avoid confusion. however, the difference was minimal.
