None, since there can be no conversion.

A gallon is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space while a square foot is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different characteristics and, according to the most basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at comparisons or conversions between the two are fundamentally flawed.

Except we’re not comparing volume to area. Here, “55 gal” is simply in reference to the “type” of drum (10gal, 15gal, 30gal, 55gal, etc.) An average “55 gallon drum” has a diameter of 24in and a height of 35in giving us all we need to determine area.

What else can I help you with?
