- US gallon = 3.785411784 litres (the standard definition).
- Imperial gallon = 4.54609 litres.
The imperial gallon is about 20% bigger. Water tanker sizes in Dubai are usually quoted in US gallons, but some older villa drawings and older DEWA bills used imperial gallons. Mixing them up is the most common reason an order doesn’t match a tank.
