Why gallon differences did not derail Allied naval fueling

Did Imperial and US gallon differences cause Allied ship-fueling problems in the Second World War?

No major naval problem resulted because bulk ship fuel was handled by weight, although aircraft and national measurement standards could still complicate logistics.

The Imperial and US gallons differed, but the panel says the distinction did not create a serious ship-fuelling problem. Warships accounted for bulk fuel by weight in tons rather than consuming it in retail-style gallons. Aircraft introduced more scope for confusion because their fuel quantities could use pounds, and British and American pounds were themselves different historical standards. Allied logisticians therefore still had conversions to manage, but the gallon difference did not derail naval refuelling.
