About This Conversion
Liters to US gallons converts a metric capacity into the unit American pricing and equipment use: fuel, aquariums, water tanks, paint. One liter is 0.264172 US gallons, so roughly a quarter of a gallon.
Aquariums are a case where the rounding is worth avoiding. A "20 gallon" tank is a manufacturing size of about 75.7 L, and dosing water treatments by a converted-and-rounded volume gets the concentration wrong. Use the measured volume, not the marketed one.
