If the tank is full, there will be 5,000 gallons. Therefore, the answer is 5,000.

We know from question that:
3/4 * volume - 1/3 * volume = 2500
Solving this equation for volume gives:
Volume * ( 3/4 - 1/3 ) = 2500
Volume * ( 9/12 - 4/12) = 2500
Volume * 5/12 = 2500
Volume = 2500 / ( 5/12)
Volume = 2500 * 12 / 5 = 500 * 12 = 6000 gallons.
