my calculation is as follows
231 ci per gallon x 55 divided by 2158ci per bushel=5.8874 bushels per drum

oops 2150.42 not 2158
231x55 divided by 2150.42=5.90815

Type 55 into the "gallon" field -> 5.908 bushels

used two different online calculators and both come up to 6.875

6.8 bushels per 55 Imperial gallons, 5.9 bushels per 55 US gallons.

using your convertor
DRY measure 55 gallons is 6.875 bushel
55 fluid gallons is 5.9 bushel
two other convertors agree with this as long as you pick dry

A bushel is 32 quarts. Always has been.

So it is. I didn't know a liquid gallon was different from a dry one.

A 55 gallon drum has an inch or two air space at the top so probably all figures are wrong...
