Nicola Davies, no. For example: a gallon of liquid gold would weigh more than a gallon of liquid tin. A gallon is a measurement of a quantity, not a measurement of weight.

Nicola Davies, a gallon is a measure of volume. Different liquids have different densities which is why a gallon of water weighs more than a gallon of gasoline and less than a gallon of milk or cream.

Nicola Davies, That's not possible my friend, if you say 1 pound of feathers is lighter than pound of bricks would b wrong because it's relevant to weight but volume is different

Good example InsatiableGoal55358. And a fluid ounce is different than a solid ounce. Any time you measure weight you need to consider the item's density. A basic law of physics.
