Conversion Formula
The formula for converting gallons to liters is:
Liters = Gallons × 3.78541
Since one US gallon equals 3.78541 liters, multiplying the gallons by this factor converts the volume to liters. This works because both gallons and liters measure volume, but in different units.
For example, to convert 11.9 gallons to liters:
- Multiply 11.9 by 3.78541
- 11.9 × 3.78541 = 45.047579
- Rounded to four decimal places, 45.0476 liters

Conversion Definitions
Gallons: A gallon is a unit of volume used mostly in the United States and a few other countries. It measures capacity, equal to 128 fluid ounces, used in liquid measurements such as fuel, milk, and water. There are US and UK gallons, which differ in size.
Liters: A liter is a metric unit of volume, equal to one cubic decimeter or 1,000 cubic centimeters. It is widely used worldwide for measuring liquids, such as beverages, chemicals, and fuels. The liter provides a decimal-based system compatible with other metric units.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the conversion factor between gallons and liters differ for US and UK gallons?
The US gallon is defined as exactly 3.78541 liters, while the UK (Imperial) gallon is about 4.54609 liters. This difference comes from historical definitions in each country. When converting, it’s important to know which gallon is used to avoid errors in volume measurement.
Can I convert gallons to liters by just multiplying by 4?
Multiplying by 4 gives an approximate but not exact conversion for US gallons. The actual factor is 3.78541, which is less than 4. Using 4 will slightly overestimate the volume in liters, causing inaccuracies especially in precise measurements.
Is the conversion formula the same for dry gallons?
No, dry gallons are used for measuring dry commodities and differ from liquid gallons. The conversion factor to liters changes because dry gallons are smaller (about 4.4049 liters). The formula above applies only to liquid US gallons.
Does temperature affect the gallons to liters conversion?
The numerical conversion factor between gallons and liters does not change with temperature because it’s a fixed relation between units. However, actual volume of liquids can change with temperature due to expansion or contraction, affecting real-world measurement.
Why are negative gallons used in the conversion chart?
Negative gallons represent negative volumes, which can occur in calculations involving volume loss, reverse flow, or accounting adjustments. The conversion formula remains the same, but the negative sign indicates direction or deficit rather than physical volume.
