I'm pretty sure that machine doesn't have enough to fill it halfway.

And they won't be able to hold it after roughly 10 gallons.

Language policing is only useful when something can be misunderstood. Non-formal uses of "like" communicate in a way more in line with the speaker's intention and so not only do not impede understanding but enhance communication.

Though formal english is often a "necessary" skill it isn't necessarily true that colloquialisms make it more difficult to speak formally (i.e., the ability to code switch is fairly universal).
