what it does
One US gallon is 3,785.41 milliliters. Multiply gallons by 3,785 and the milliliters appear, which is how an imperial tank or recipe becomes a metric measure.
It shows up when a recipe or a fuel spec in gallons has to be converted for a metric container, when a US bottle is compared to metric sizes, when a sprayer or tank is dosed in millilitres per gallon, and in any setting where the two systems share a shelf.
The shortcut: 1 gallon is 3,785 ml, so half a gallon is 1,893 ml, a quart is 946 ml, and a cup is 237 ml. The US gallon is smaller than the UK one (3,785 vs 4,546 ml), so always check the flag before multiplying.
