Explanation:
You might want to convert to a more comprehensible unit, such as liter, or cubic cm. "Un balde de X litros..." for example. It would require a bit of math...

Abbreviation, Unit of Measurement ... 4 C. (1 qt.) 32 oz. (2 lbs.) 4 1/3 C. 2.2 lbs. ... Liquid, 1 liquid qt. 0.95 liter. 1.06 liquid
