About Gallon (US)

The US liquid gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches (about 3.78541 liters). US recipes, fuel economy, and retail liquids typically use US gallons.

About Cubic Feet

The cubic feet is the volume of a cube one feet on a side (about 28.3168 liters). HVAC, construction, and US freight sometimes use cubic feet.

How to convert gallons (us) to cubic feet

1 gallon (us) is equal to 0.1336805554143 cubic feet:

1 gal = (3.78541178 L ÷ 28.316846592 L) ft3 = 0.1336805554143 ft3

Each gallon (us) is defined as 3.78541178 L and each cubic feet as 28.316846592 L, so one gal equals 3.78541178 ÷ 28.316846592 ft3 = 0.1336805554143 ft3.

Let V(gal) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Gallon (US) (gal), and V(ft3) the value in Cubic Feet (ft3). Then:

V(ft3) = V(gal) × (3.78541178 / 28.316846592)

Equivalently, divide by how many gal fit into one ft3 (liters per ft3 divided by liters per gal):

V(ft3) = V(gal) ÷ 7.48051948842406

Or: cubic feet = gallon (us) ÷ 7.48051948842406

Examples

Example #1: Convert 20 gal to cubic feet

20 gal = 20 gal × (3.78541178/28.316846592) ft3 = 2.6736111083 ft3

20 gal = 20 gal ÷ 7.48051948842406 = 2.6736111083 ft3

Example #2: Convert 50 gal to cubic feet

50 gal = 50 gal × (3.78541178/28.316846592) ft3 = 6.6840277707 ft3

50 gal = 50 gal ÷ 7.48051948842406 = 6.6840277707 ft3

Summary

To convert Gallon (US) to Cubic Feet, multiply the value in gal by the ratio of liters per gal divided by liters per ft3. Equivalently: value_ft3 = value_gal × (3.78541178 / 28.316846592). Numerically, 1 gal equals 0.13368055541429688 ft3.
