"Eric Kempka received an order to deliver immediately 200 liters of gasoline in cans to the chancellery garden. Kempka had some difficulty in rounding up so much fuel, but he managed to collect 180 liters. "
In this context, is the gasoline had already been canned, or after collecting, Eric Kempka had to pour 200 liters of gasoline into cans ?

@Warren_zzzzzz Assume that he started with empty cans, filled them with gasoline, and delivered them. However, the sentence does not actually specify this; it is still possible that the cans were pre-filled.

@ladybug so both are possible, and based on this context, we can't tell whether it had already been filled or not?🥲

@Warren_zzzzzz correct. The sentence does not contain the “back-story”. In other words, the sentence doesn’t reveal Kempka’s method of collecting the liters.
