2 Answers↳
too many variables for me to decide the answer you seek, you could fill the 3 gallon, pour into 5 gallon... and mark the level for 2 gallons remaining( but you said nothing about marking tools) fill the 5 gallon to top pour into basin the first 2 gallons, refill 5 gallon, and pour all into basin... or you could ask why if it is so important for accuracy did this company not give me better measuring equipment., Less
↳
This isn't all that hard. You fill the five gallon. Then pour that into the three gallon. This leaves two gallons in the five gallon jug. Pour that into the basin, then pour in another five gallons. Seven gallons. Less
