An Imperial gallon and pint are larger than their US counterparts, while an Imperial fluid ounce is slightly smaller than a US fluid ounce. Counts inside each gallon also differ.

Three differences worth remembering

Example: why labels matter

Five gallons could mean 18.92705892 L in the US system or 22.73045 L in the Imperial system—a difference of more than 3.8 liters.
