What is a dekaliter and where is it commonly used?

A dekaliter (daL) is a metric volume unit equal to 10 liters. It is often used for medium-sized liquid containers and industrial or agricultural volumes where liters are too small and cubic meters too large.

How is the UK gallon defined?

The UK gallon, also known as the imperial gallon, is exactly 4.54609 liters and is used primarily in regions that use imperial measurement systems for fuel capacities and fluid volumes.

Why should I be careful when comparing UK gallons to US gallons?

UK gallons and US gallons are different units with distinct volumes, so mixing them up can lead to incorrect volume assessments.
