What are the quantities in a US gallon.My Tractor book is printed in US and I am all at sea regarding quantities because of their variation with UK.

Pints, ounces in pint etc...Thanks in advance..Ian.

1 US gallon=4 quarts (128 ounces)

1 quart=2 pints

1 pint= 16 ounces (2 cups)

2 gallons= 1 peck (old farm measure)

4 pecks= 1bushel ( I think!)

1 quart = 946 ml = 0.946 liter

The Canadian and UK is superior to the US gallon. 160ounces vs. 128 ounces.

Ever wonder why scientists and those people who work with stuff that can't afford mistakes (such as NASA,hospitals, etc) use the METRIC system? The reason is simple .... it's a simple system with very little or no room for error. This pint, cups, ounces (fluid and dry weight) system is archaic, backwards, and confusing. Granted we all grew up with it and it seems OK but even us oldtimers get confused at times (as in the original post above).

A US Gallon is 231 cubic inchs.
The V-6 buick of the late 80's diplaced a gallon.

Ian: A US gallon is 80% of an Imperial gallon. Litre is very close to a US quart. My tractor calls for 5 US quarts with a filter change. Here in Canada we now get oil in Litres or 4 Litre jugs. When I change the oil, if I use 5 litres, it will be very close to using 5 US quarts.
