1 gallon = 3.78 litres, or 3.8 rounded off.
Also keep in mind your tank will never hold that exact amount of water. You've got substrate, rocks, plants, any other decoration, all this takes up space so I would substract an estimate of all this.

Best bet is to place as many of the things that you're going to put in as you can, then fill it with water and see how much it goes in, IF you care THAT much
