264

A tonne is a measure of mass, and a gallon is a measure of volume, to convert from one to the other you need to know the density of the liquid. Water at 20oC has a density of 998.2kgm-3. So one cubic metre of water at 20oC has a mass of 998.2kg, or 0.9982 tonne.

One cubic metre weighs 1.8 kg less than a tonne.

One tonne has a volume of 1.002m3.

1.002m3 is 219.57 imperial (uk) gallons. or 264 US gallons liq.

The question, as stated, cannot be answered sensibly. A gallon is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A ton is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a gallon of air and of water. They will have very different masses.
