Notes: There is most likely a more efficient way to do this, but this is the best I can do for now.
Notation: ( x , y ) where x is the amount of water in the 5-liter container and y is the amount of water in the 7-liter container
1. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 0 )
2. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 5 )
3. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 5 )
4. Fill the seven-liter container with the five-liter container, leaving 3 liters in the five-liter container ( 3 , 7 )
5. Pour out the seven-liter container ( 3 , 0 )
6. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 3 )
7. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 3 )
8. Fill the seven-liter container with the five-liter container, leaving 1 liter in the five-liter container ( 1 , 7 )
9. Pour out the seven-liter container ( 1 , 0 )
10. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 1 )
11. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 1 )
12. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 6 )
Fill the 7 liter, fill the 5 from the 7 leaving 2 in the 7. empty the 5 litre jug and add the 2 litres into the 5 litre jug. Fill the 7l jug and then fill the 5 litre jug again, which will leave you with 4 litres in the 7 litre jug as there was already 2 in the 5 litres (5-2=3 taken from the 7, 7-3=4)
Assuming you have a separate container to hold the 4 litres... Fill the 5 litre and empty it into the 8 litre. Repeat - and retain the 2 litres you have left when the 8 litre is full - pour that into the 'spare' container. Empty the 8 litres out and repeat the process again - you should now have 4 litres in your spare container.
I can do it, but you have to bring another unmarked bucket or jar to collect the 6 liters in. Steps: 1). Fill the 5 jar. 2). Empty the 5 jar into the 7 jar. Now you have 5 in the 7 jar. 3). Fill the 5 jar again. 4). Use it to slowly fill the 7 jar. That will take 2, and you'll have 3 left in the 5 jar. 5). Empty the 3 out of the 5 jar into your bucket. 6). Empty the 7 jar. Both the 5 jar and the 7 jar are empty now. 7). Repeat step-1 8). Repeat step-2 9). Repeat step-3 10). Repeat step-4. You have 3 in the 5 jar. 11). Add the 3 from the 5 jar into your bucket. You have 6 liters in your bucket. QED. This is probably not the answer you want, but it's the best I can come up with today. Anybody else out there ?
Fill up the seven liter cup cup and subtract 3 liters with the three liter cup and roughly add one liter.

How do you make an unmarked 5 liters from 4 and 7 liter containers?
Okay so fill up the seven liter jug completely and pour as much as you can into the 4 liter jug. You now have 3 liters in the 7 liter jug and 4 liters in the 4 liter jug. Pour the 4 liter out half way, now you have 2 liters in the 4 liter jug. Now pour the contents of the 4 liter jug into the 7 liter jug that has 3 liters in it. You know have a jug with 5 liters.
How can you measure 6 liters of water using only 4 and 9-liter bowls?
First, fill the 9-liter bowl and pour it into the 4-liter bowl until it is full. This leaves 5 liters in the 9-liter bowl. Next, empty the 4-liter bowl and pour the remaining 5 liters from the 9-liter bowl into it. Finally, fill the 9-liter bowl again and pour 3 liters into the 4-liter bowl until it is full. This will leave exactly 6 liters in the 9-liter bowl.

Fill the 4 liter with water and empty into the 3 liter, leaving one liter in the 4 liter receptacle. Dump the 3 liter water, and pour the remaining one liter from the 4 liter into the 3 liter. Fill the four liter and dump into 3 liter until full. You now have added two liters to the 3 liter receptacle and 2 liters remain in the 4 liter receptacle.

How do you measure 4 liters of water if you have a 7-liter and a 5-liter bucket?
This method works with any such problem, as long as the two buckets' liter-capacities (or gallon capacities, etc.) have no common factors, or else the common factors are also factors of the amount you're trying to measure. Fill the 7-liter bucket, and empty 5 liters of it into the 5-liter bucket; then dump out the 5 liters. Two liters will remain in the 7-liter bucket; transfer them to the 5-liter bucket. Fill the 7-liter bucket again, and empty enough of the bucket into the 5-liter bucket to fill it. That should only be 3 liters transfered, leaving 4 liters left in the 7-liter bucket. QED.
How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 5 liter bucket and 8 liter bucket?
Fill up 8 liter bucket and 5 liter bucket. Pour 3 liter out from the 5. Pour 6 liter from the 8. Add the remains from the 5l back to the remains in the 8 liter and you have 4 liters.
