Refill Capacities (Imperial Measures)
The Canadian Provinces employ an Imperial liquid measure which is 1/5 larger than
similar units of liquid measure used under United States standard. If the
approximate equivalent liquid capacities are desired, Multiply the specified
U.S. measure by .83 to obtain Imperial gallons. Multiply the Imperial measure by
1.2 to obtain the approximate equivalent in U.S. gallons.
