Title: Conversion of Imperial to Metric Post by: nige and Jody on July 19, 2009, 04:53:39 PM 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? ta Nige Title: Re: Conversion of Imperial to Metric Post by: FC427 on July 19, 2009, 05:52:58 PM 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.......
Title: Re: Conversion of Imperial to Metric Post by: nige and Jody on July 19, 2009, 06:59:52 PM 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.
