What is gallon (UK) used for?

Gallon (UK) is mainly used to specify fuel capacities, marine volumes, and traditional container sizes in regions with imperial measurement systems.

How does converting to deciliters help?

Converting to deciliters provides a metric-based intermediate volume unit suited for cooking, clinical labs, and chemical uses where decimal submultiples of liters are practical.

Can I use this converter for US gallons?

No, this tool specifically converts gallon (UK) which differs from US gallons; other converters are needed for US gallon conversions.
