Liters to Gallons Converter

Which gallon this converter uses

1 liter = 0.264172 US liquid gallons. That's the factor built into the script above — it matters because "gallon" isn't universal: a US gallon is 3.785 liters, while a UK (imperial) gallon is 4.546 liters, about 20% larger. If you're converting a European car's fuel tank size for a UK audience, this tool's output will read low by that same 20%.

Worked example

10 liters × 0.264172 = 2.64 US gallons.

Reference points

Common uses: reading a European appliance's water-tank capacity, converting a recipe written in metric to US cups/gallons, or sizing a fuel or fish-tank volume against US-labeled equipment.
