How to Calculate
- Enter a volume in liters.
- Multiply it by 0.2641720524.
- Copy the result in US liquid gallons.
Formula
US gallons = liters × 0.2641720524Example
10 L × 0.2641720524 = 2.642 US gal.
Units, assumptions, and limitations
- This converter uses the US liquid gallon, exactly 3.785411784 L, rather than an imperial or US dry gallon.
- Enter a non-negative volume. Volume conversion does not calculate mass or weight.
Common mistake to avoid
Applying the US liquid factor to UK imperial gallons, which are larger.
