The Formula for convert API gravity to pounds per gallon is:
Pounds per Gallon = (141.5/(API Gavity+131.5))*8.3378 <--[which is weight of fresh water]
API of 10 is same as weight of water. API >10 will float

How much does 1 US gal of diesel fuel weigh in US lbs?
The weight can vary. Heavy oil weighs more than light oil. To determine the weight, we need to know the density of the oil, which is given as degrees API. Density in pounds per gallon = 141.5/(131.5 + API) *62.4 So a heavy oil. (10 degrees API for example) , has a density of 62.4 pounds per gallon, and one gallon weighs 62.4 pounds. A medium weight oil (30 degrees API for example) has a density of 54.7 pounds per gallon and one gallon weights 54.7 pounds. A light weight oil (50 degrees API for example) has a density of 48.6 pounds per gallon and one gallon weights 48.6 pounds. The density units of API stand for the American Petroleum Institute. I note that a density of 10 deg API is the same as the density of water, below 10 degrees, the oil will sink. I also note that if double the API density, I do not double the density of the oil as measured in pounds per gallon.
How much does a gallon of 87 octane weigh?
Approximately 6.073 pounds per US gallon.
How do you convert specific gravity 0.8349 to pounds per gallon?
For this I will use water as the unit of measure. Based on the lbs per gallon of water @ 4 degrees Celsius which is 8.33 8.33 is a specific gravity of 1 The equation to determine lbs per gallon using a basis of water lbs per gal = (sg * 8.33) So if you have 0.8349 as your specific gravity: (0.8349 * 8.33) = 6.954717 (lbs per gal) The equation to convert pounds to gallons of a different fluid that has a variable specific gravity would be: gallons = lbs / (sg * 8.33) If I have 5 pounds of a lubricant with a SG of 1.2 5 / (1.2 * 8.33) = 0.5 (gallons) http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/water-gallons-pounds-d_1710.html
How much does 1 gallon of ATF weigh?
The following product has a specific gravity of 0.875:Valvoline VV353 Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRONIII /MERCONThis means that the weight of it is 0.875 times that of an equal volume of water. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, therefore one gallon of the product mentioned above weighs 7.2975 pounds. Most transmission fluids have a similar specific gravity.
Weight of 1 gallon water?
I gallon (Imperial) weighs just over 10 pounds-weight.
How much does a liter of diesel fuel weigh in kilograms?
Depends on the API gravity. During the summer, diesel will weigh between 6.951 (API 38) and 7.076 (API 35) pounds per gallon. Last winter, the diesel weighed around 7.206 (API 32) pounds per gallon. You can do the math to convert this to metric.
What is weight of a barrel of oil?
The weight of a barrel of oil will depend on its density. A barrel contains 42 gallons and density is typically measured in units of API gravity. Units can be a bit confusing in this case. We need to convert from API density to pounds per gallon. Crude oil can typically vary from 15 to 45 deg API although I have worked with oils as low as 8 and as high as 50. Let us consider oil gravity of 30 deg API, as all other densities are calculated in the same way. Specific Gravity = 141.5/(131.5 + 30) = 0.876 The specific gravity is the density of the oil relative to water. Now, to convert this to pounds per gallon, we must multiply the answer by 8.34 (density of water is 8.33 pounds per gallon): 8.34 x 0.876 = 7.30 pounds/gallon. Since there are 42 gallons in a barrel, we must multiply this answer by 42: 42 x 7.30 = 307 pounds. To summarize, a) convert API to specific density b) convert specific density to pounds per gallon and c) multiply gallons in one barrel by the pounds per gallon.
How much does gas weight per gallon?
Depending on the API gravity. Usually regular unleaded has a gravity of approx. 58 and a weight per gallon of 6.216 lbs., premium approx. gravity 54 or 6.350 lbs. per gal.
Size of barrel of oil?

To summarize, a) convert API to specific density b) convert specific density to pounds per gallon and c) multiply gallons in one barrel by the pounds per gallon.

How many US gallons are there in one metric ton of number two diesel fuel low sulfur keep getting different answers mark says 302.1 and other answers 310.5 which is right?
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.
How many gallons are in a barrel of crude oil?
According to the NYMEX, light sweet crude (the grade of oil most commonly traded in the commodities markets due to its comparable low level of difficulty in gasoline distillation) has an API gravity of 34 degrees to 41 degrees for foreign delivery.The API gravity is a scale developed by the American Petroleum Institute. The formula is to calculate SG at 60 degrees F = 141.5 / (API gravity + 131.5) which translates to between 0.855 and 0.820 (per liter)A gallon is equivalent to 3.785 liters, so the answer is:Between 3.104 and 3.236 kg (7 lbs) per gallon of light sweet crude.
