Conversion of Imperial to Metric

[nige and Jody]

G'day all,

In the FE / FC workshop manual it talks about gallons, quarts and pints for capacities.  Can anyone tell me if it means UK, US liquid or US dry measurements?

I Think ??? we used imperial measurements so 20  fluid ounces = 1 imperial pint ..2 imperial pints  to the imperial quart 4 imperial quarts or 8 imperial  pints to the gallon .......but it's been a while so can't be 100% ......FC427.......

Yeah the reason I ask is that I am converting my FE/FC manual to PDF and am putting the metric equivalents next to the old measurements but if I use for example the fuel tank capacity:

   9 1/2 UK gallons = 43.187 Litres
   9 1/2 US (Dry) gallons = 41.846 Litres
   9 1/2 US (liquid) gallons = 35.961 Litres

Quite a difference, now common sense says I eliminate the US Dry gallons but when has any manufacturer used common sense.

All the imperial measurements in Australia came from the British

Thanks Lads,

Had the online conversion bit but the three different options was just too much........
