Pounds to gallons
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Not so easy as it sounds...
Water weighs 8.35 lbs per gallon. BUT - How many gallons will a 35 lb can hold? That depends on what the measurement was originally made by.
If the can was designed to hold 35 pounds of water, then it would hold 35 lb ÷ 8.35 lb/gal = 4.19 gallons.
If, on the other hand, the can was made to hold 35 lbs of ash, or grain, or anything else, you'll need to determine the volume of the container in cubic inches (or feet) and apply the necessary conversions to get to gallons.
