Let's begin by making it plain that water does not weigh 8.34 lbs per gallon. A gallon is eight pints; ok, so what's a pint? Well, an English pint is twenty ounces, and has been since time immemorial. Generations of English kids learnt it by chanting "a pint of water's a pound and a quarter" in school. This makes an "imperial gallon" weigh ten pounds. An American pint is sixteen ounces. This makes a US gallon eight pounds.
