Déversez une quantité égale au contenu maximum du contenant plus un gallon


Explanation:
Le terme "line contents" me pose problème, mais j'imagine qu'il s'agit de la ligne présente sur les contenants pour indiquer le niveau maximum auquel il faut les remplir.
Je n'ai rien trouvé sur Internet, pas d'explication textuelle, pas de photos, et je n'ai jamais rencontré ce terme avant.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Tony M: 'line' refers to some kind of piping, as Stefan has suggested in his discussion post above, so 'contenant' would be a mistranslation of that idea. / 'conduit' or 'canalisation' sounds better to my non-French ears!

  -> Yes, now that you say it it seems right. "Conduite" sounds better than "tuyau" though.
