That is a US gallon We use to use imperial gallon in Canada which was 4.5 litres.

Now life is easier here in Canada just the metric system. Lol

[cookinwitdiesel]

Didn't even know there were different gallons, god it is stupid that we do not all use metric.....

It is like the non-metric (?) system tried to make sense for the smallest time (1oz water weighs 1oz) but that was it, everything else is out the window on making sense lol

[TJO]

My boys grew up using only the metric system. So when I throw out terms like it just a furlong away they just shake their heads lol

If they totally switch to metric I'll be lost, too old to learn a complete system again.
Talking meters, mms, litres, kms plus throw in "hydro" (which for non Canadians that's electricity) & forget it I'm lost.
I got a couple of FREE tape measures at Harbor Freight & both had inches & millimeters, drove me nuts that whichever way I ran it the mms were on the side I needed the measurement, threw both away & bought ones in ONLY inches.

Unless you're like me and still (at 54 yr old) can't use just one system.

KM for distance & speed, but Lbs for weight. Temp depends on if it's cold (use C) or hot (use F). And I've no idea on L/100km, but think in Imp MPG.

And Go Jets

Ditto here. I'm constantly converting everything. I'm 80 and DW is 73 but she is totally converted to the metric system. When I tell her how many MPGs we are getting she says what is that in L/100 kms.

Well after a bit of a wait my new TV is in. Went with a 2019 F350 SD Lariat 6.7 DRW. So pretty much no issues with my payload or pin weight now. My new numbers are.

GVWR - 6350 KG / 14000 lbs
Payload - 2408 KG / 5310 lbs
Max Tow 5th- 27.5 lbs (stuck to hitch weight)
Tires - Michelin LTX M/S2 245/75R17
Hitch - Ford (Reese)5th Wheel, 27,500 lbs

So I'm set for the next 10 plus years as my HW has told me lol.

You better come up with a nice abbreviation for your wife. My bride would never let me get something like that, until I take down the Christmas lights!

[Fishsizzle]
