As usual, great problem-solving code snippets from Han, but it wouldn't be complete without a 50g solution too.
Here's what I use on the 50g:

Code:


{ { "l" { << 1_l * >> << 1_l CONVERT >> } } { "gal" { << 1_gal * >> << 1_gal CONVERT >> } }
'CST' STO

It's a simple custom menu, in which using the unit unshifted will apply the unit to a number, while using it with the white shift will convert the number on the stack to that unit.

So the example of the 50 liters to galons would be:

1. Press CST
2. 50
3. Press l [F1]
4. Press Shift-[F2] (shift-gal)
5. 75
6. Press l [F1]
7. Press Shift-[F2] (shift-gal)

Of course it can be extended with as many units as you want.
