Conversion Formulas

Gallons are a non-SI measure of volume, with two different units - US Gallon and Imperial Gallon:

1 US Gallon = 128 US Fluid Ounces (fl oz) = 3.78541 liters → 1 liter = 0.26417 US Gallon

1 Imp Gallon = 160 Imp Fluid Ounces = 4.54609 liters → 1 liter = 0.219969 Imp Gallon

Also, a cubic yard is a non-SI measure of volume, derived from the yard, the unit of length.

1 Yard = 0.9144 m

Hence, one cubic yard equals to:

1 Yard³ = (0.9144 m)³ = 0.764554857984 m³ = 764.554 liters → 1 liter = 0.0013079506 Yard³

Thus, in order to convert volume given in gallons into volume given in cubic yards and vice versa, use these formulas:

1 liter = 0.0013079506 Yard³ =  0.26417 US Gallon = 0.219969 Imp Gallon

Yard³ = 201.97 US Gallon = 168.18 Imp Gallon

US Gallon = 0.00495113 Yard³

Imp Gallon = 0.00594606 Yard³

Gallons to Cubic Yards and Cubic Yards to Gallons Conversion Examples

If You have 4.7 gallons (US/Imp) that would be:

US Gallons: Volume_{(cubic yards)} = 4.7 * 0.00495113 = 0.02327 Yards³

Imp Gallons: Volume_{(cubic yards)} = 4.7 * 0.00594606 = 0.02794 Yards³

Similarly:

• 1000 US Gallons = 4.95113 Yards³
• 500 Imp Gallons = 2.97303 Yards³
• 20 Yards³ = 4039.48 US Gallons = 3363.57 Imp Gallons

etc.
