About Liter
The liter is a metric unit equal to one cubic decimeter (0.001 m³). Science, global food labeling, and most countries’ everyday volumes use liters.
About Gallon (UK)
The UK imperial gallon is defined as approximately 4.54609 liters. It is larger than the US liquid gallon and is used for fuel and drinks labeling in the UK.
How to convert liters to gallons (uk)
1 liter is equal to 0.21996924829909 gallon (uk):
1 l = (1 L ÷ 4.54609 L) ukgal = 0.21996924829909 ukgal
Each liter is defined as 1 L and each gallon (uk) as 4.54609 L, so one l equals 1 ÷ 4.54609 ukgal = 0.21996924829909 ukgal.
Let V(l) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Liter (l), and V(ukgal) the value in Gallon (UK) (ukgal). Then:
V(ukgal) = V(l) × (1 / 4.54609)
Equivalently, divide by how many l fit into one ukgal (liters per ukgal divided by liters per l):
V(ukgal) = V(l) ÷ 4.54609
Or: gallon (uk) = liter ÷ 4.54609
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 l to gallon (uk)
20 l = 20 l × (1/4.54609) ukgal = 4.399384966 ukgal
20 l = 20 l ÷ 4.54609 = 4.399384966 ukgal
Example #2: Convert 50 l to gallon (uk)
50 l = 50 l × (1/4.54609) ukgal = 10.998462415 ukgal
50 l = 50 l ÷ 4.54609 = 10.998462415 ukgal
Summary
To convert Liter to Gallon (UK), multiply the value in l by the ratio of liters per l divided by liters per ukgal. Equivalently: value_ukgal = value_l × (1 / 4.54609). Numerically, 1 l equals 0.21996924829908776 ukgal.
Relationship context
You are converting between metric (SI) (Liters) and UK imperial fluid / volume (Gallons (UK)). US and UK fluid measures differ (gallons, ounces, tablespoons); metric liters and cubic meters align with SI. The numeric factor used here is 2.199692e-1.
