1 m³ ≈ 264.172052358 US gal.
Formula and calculation
US gal = m³ × 264.172052358
Substituting 1 m³ gives approximately 264.172052358 US gal. Definitions use the constants above; arithmetic uses browser floating point and displays at most 12 significant digits. The rounded table is not an instrument calibration or certified measurement.
Which units does this page use?
cubic meters: volume of a cube one metre on every side.
US gallons: US liquid gallon: 231 cubic inches, not the imperial gallon.
When this direction is useful
Start here when your source record uses m³ for tank capacity and room-volume calculations, but the receiving specification is expressed in US gal for US liquid-container capacities. Enter the original quantity rather than reusing a previously rounded result. If your source uses US gal, use the reverse converter instead.

Limits and interpretation
These are non-negative physical quantities; negative inputs are rejected. Converting a unit changes neither the measured object nor the original precision. Use a decimal dot; grouping commas are not accepted. No external rates, live data or account are involved.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert the other way?
Yes. Convert US gallons to cubic meters with the inverse equation. Rounding a result before converting it back can introduce a small difference.
Are these the same as every similarly named unit?
No. Check the two definitions above. International length, avoirdupois mass, US customary liquid measures and temperature readings are explicitly distinguished; an ambiguous label on a source document must be resolved first.
Where do the conversion definitions come from?
They use SI and defined customary conversion relationships. See the NIST Guide for the Use of SI. Output formatting is this tool's display policy, not extra measurement accuracy.
