I found your conversion of gallon to # 10 can. I can not get one # 10 can to fill a gallon. Are there any other # 10 can that I do not know about? I use # 10 cans in a kitchen.
Thanks!

The #10 cans are the great big cans, like the kind restaurants use.You are probably thinking of the #2.5 cans which are the smaller cans like you find at the grocery store.
The #10 can does hold a U.S. gallon of liquid.

No, I mean it. I tried to fill a # 10 can with one gallon of water and the can over-flowed. I work in a kitchen. So I searched alittle and found these sites:

I also found the following:
Can Size Approx. Wt. Cupfuls
6 oz 6 oz ¾
8 oz 8 oz 1
No. 1 10-12 oz 1¼ to 1½
No. 300 14-16 oz 1¾
No. 1½ or 303 1 lb.- 17 oz 2
No. 2 1 lb.4oz or 1 pt 2 fl oz 2½
No. 2½ 1 lb.12oz to 1lb.14oz 3½
No. 3 cylinder or 46oz 3 lb.3oz or 1 qt.14oz 5¾

and...

Notes: When substituting one can for another size,
one No. 10 can is approximately equivalent to:7 of #303 (1 lb) cans
5 of #2 (1lb 4oz) cans
4 of #2 1/2 (1 lb 13oz) cans
2 of #3 (46 - 50oz) cansSize # Weight Cups Servings
1/4 4 oz 1/2 1
3/8 6 oz 3/4 1
1/2 8 oz 1 2
1 picnic 10 1/2 1 1/4 2 to 3
211 12 oz 1 1/2 3 to 4
300 13 1/2 oz 1 3/4 to 2 3 to 4
303 15 1/2 oz 2 4

3 cylinder 46 oz 5 3/4 10 to 12

So I have found that there are ALOT of different sizes of # 10 cans:)
