After filling my tires and doing further research I believe these are imperial gallons not US gallons. The RIMGUARD website also confirms this.

I had a pair of 26x12.00-12 and a pair of 14.9x26 filled just a few years ago with beet juice at a local dealer and each time I paid for the amount of liquid very close to this chart. The beet juice site says 50 us gal or 42 Imp gal for 14.9x26.
If one figures 48 gal. of WATER and enough calcium chloride for antifreeze (which was all that was used when this chart was made) one will get the volume of 50 gal.

I guess it depends how you read the chart and what you are doing with that information. I read it as this is the volume that the tire holds with water only. It does state the weight will change if adding other chemicals and I took that the volume would change as well. In my case I was filling with windshield washer fluid and need the volume required. My 7.5x16 tire required 11US gallons or 9 imperial gallons to bring it to valve level. The chart here states 9 gallons. The RimGuard (beet juice) website also shows that size of tire requires 9 imperial or 11 US gallons. In the end if you are looking for total volume of liquid to fill the tire after adding chemicals or just filling with pure water then the chart seems to be in Imperial Gallons for my size of tire that I tested.
