Gallons (US)
length x width x height (inches) / 231
Litres
length x width x height (cm) / 1000
length x width x height (inches) / 231
Litres
length x width x height (cm) / 1000

With the MFK calc you can choose between US and UK I believe under the "volume" section

the formula posted answers what I needed to know it is by 231 for U.S I had found one but I think it's UK and that is 277.4 so if any one needs to know that. Oh and these are LxHxW in inches. 
Thanks!!

BTW for UK gallons:
length(inches) x width(inches) x height(inches) / 1728 x 6.25
length(inches) x width(inches) x height(inches) / 1728 x 6.25
