Convert grams to gallons or gallons to grams using the density of water by default, or pick milk, oil, honey, paint or your own density.
Gallons from Grams of Water Formula
Variables:
- GAL is the Gallons from Grams of Water (gallons)
- G is the grams of water (g)
For a US liquid gallon and the approximate water density of1g/mL, divide water mass in grams by3785.411784. For another liquid, divide mass by its density in g/mL first, then divide the resulting mL by3785.411784 (US) or4546.09 (Imperial).

FAQs
How do you convert grams of water to liters?
To convert grams of water to liters, use the conversion factor that 1 gram of water is approximately equal to 0.001 liters. Therefore, divide the number of grams by 1000.
What is the significance of using 3785.41 as the conversion factor in the formula?
3785.411784 is the number of milliliters in a US liquid gallon. It is also approximately the grams of water at an assumed density of1g/mL; actual water density varies with temperature.
Can this formula be used for substances other than water?
The simplified water formula assumes1g/mL. For other substances use gallons = grams รท density(g/mL) รท mL per gallon. The calculator offers approximate food and paint presets and a custom density.
Is there a difference in the conversion factor between US gallons and UK gallons?
Yes. A US liquid gallon is3785.411784mL and an Imperial gallon is4546.09mL. Select the intended definition; neither is a US dry gallon.
