If you install the plugin for firefox the racoll recommended earlier in the post all you have to do after that is highlight and right click any measurement you see such as 200 liters and it will tell you that 200 L = 52.8 gallons. Useful on this site and any other site.

The Java Script programming is what it takes to actually put the table you are requesting on this site. Someone has to program it first. Its not really to appropriate to just steal code from someone else's website. Hope that helps.
