140,000 btu/gallon, nominal
How to convert Btu per pound to btu per gallon of diesel fuel?
btu per pound * pounds per gallon OK, it sounds as if you know the value of fuel in oil btu per pound.Now find out how much a gallon of fuel oil weighs and multiply the btu value x that weight in pounds and that is the value per gallon. Or simply, diesel fuel is #2 fuel oil which contains 140,000 btu per gallon.

How many gallons of jet fuel in 1000000 BTU?
A gallon of jet fuel supplies 126,000 BTU. So...a million BTU is less than 8 gallons.
Which is the engine that gives max mileage either diesel or petrol engine?
Diesel will always give you better fuel mileage as diesel fuel itself contains more BTU (the measure of thermal energy) in a given quantity than compared to gas.So therefore a diesel engine can extract more mileage out of a gallon of diesel fuel as there is more energy to extract out of that gallon as compared to a gallon of gas.Considering this, this is why diesel fuel prices would have to rise considerably over gas before the two would be equal on a cost per mile basis.

Is there a chart that shows the comparative energy value of various fuel alternative ranging from gasoline to cellulosic ethanol to corn ethanol sugar ethanol and biodiesel?
While not as a chart, this is an idea about combustion energy values: Ethanol 77,000 Btu per gallon, Gasoline 125,000 Btu per gallon, Diesel 135,000 Btu per gallon and Biodiesel 130,000 Btu per gallon. Grades of fuel imply differences in composition and thus differences in combustion Btu values. Combustion values for ethanol will not depend on source of ethanol as long as ethanol content/composition is the same. Ali Hamza A_Hamza@yahoo.com
