A manometer is used to indicate the pressure inside of a suspiciously cubical gas tank (gas as in vapor, not gas as in gasoline). The manometer is filled with a gauge fluid which claims a specific gravity of 0.85, and the fluid is currently 55 cm tall. The ambient atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa.

Determine the absolute and gauge pressure inside the gas tank (kPa).
