1 ton = 1000 kg = 1 cubic METER of water. = 1000 litres of water (water in about 39-40 F)
1 litre = 1000 cc. Fortunately you in USA haven't syringes working on fractions of gallon isn't it ? Unfortunately despite "everything in USA is big", your cups seem bit small. (1 cup = 1/16 gallon = 0,23l , 1 standard glass of water = 0,25l ) ;)
(by the way - meter was originally meant 1/10^7 distance between equator and pole but later it was recognised measurement was bit fucked at fifth place after the dot.).
It's a cubic METRE. (A meter is for measuring stuff like Ohms and gallons.) BTW a UK gallon is significantly larger than a US gallon but don't ask me why. Probably because a yank couldn't drink a full gallon of English beer.
