None. Gallons are a measure of volume (cubic, 3d unit) and tons are a mass unit (weight, like pounds or ounces). Sorry but i can't help you.

Volume (gallons) can be computed for a given weight of liquid, but the volume varies with the density of the liquid. (Gasoline is lighter than water... therefore, 1 pound of gasoline would be a larger volume than 1 pound of water.) A US gallon of water weighs about 8.35 pounds, and 24 tons equals 48,000 pounds (24 x 2000). Therefore, 48,000 pounds of water would occupy 5748.5 gallons of volume (48,000/8.35)
