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 Huh 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.
