Not too much difference on the smaller scale, there being 67.6 ounces in a two liter bottle and two quarts is 64 ounces. The 67.6/64 ratio equivalates 200 liters to 211¼ gallons.Fozzer wrote:Litres? ...if it's not in Gallons, its a foreign language to me,
We don't keep our potatoes in a bottle -- even mashed, as difficult to get them back out as to get them in -- and an American 2 liter bottle was handy whereas I have no French bottles.Fozzer wrote:Fluid Ounces (milk), rather than the more solid Avoirdupois Ounces (potatoes).
...And we have the French "Litres", (r before e), rather than the American "Liters".

HMS Queen Elizabeth's bilge system can hold 83,000 litres of water, a quantity which would take 17 days to fill under the current rate of the leak, even if none of it were drained. So keep the bilge pumps going.

That is correct, I rather inverted the ratio. Thus 200 liters = @ 6760 ounces; 6720/128 = 52.8125 (@ gal.)slimcooper2002 wrote:Not too much difference on the smaller scale, there being 67.6 ounces in a two liter bottle and two quarts is 64 ounces.

An Imperial gallon has 128 oz. in it and a liter has 33.8 oz. which works out to 1 gal = 3.7 liters. So 200 liters an hour is 52.8 gal per hour. I cheated and used a converter
