The answer is approximate, since the weight of diesel varies a little from refiner to refiner, and the API gravity varies from summer to winter In the summer, the API gravity may rise as high as 38, or 6.9 pounds per gallon. At this weight, there would be 319.5 gallons in a metric ton. In the winter, the API gravity may fall as low as 32, or 7.3 pounds per gallon. At this weight, there would be 302 gallons in a metric ton. So, any answer between 300 and 320 could be correct. If you want to get any more accurate than this, you have to specify the exact API gravity of the fuel! Note that the original answer of 310.5 falls just about exactly in the middle of this range. It was an average.
