Best Answer

You'll need to decide which bunker oil you're converting. There are several kinds, and each has a little different density than the other. A link is provided to the maritime section of the Wikipedia article on fuel oils. There is a chart there with the different fuel oils and their densities. Grab the correct one and make your conversions from that.

1 gallon = 3,785 412 L; you need the density of petroleum: the number of gallons (transformed in liters) x density of petroleum (in g/cm3) = the mass of petroleum in kilograms; 1 t = 1 000 kg, etc.
