One litre of water at sea level weighs 1 kilogram - that is how the system of metric weights was derived.

One kilogram is equivalent to 2.2 pounds.

Therefor 1 litre of water will weigh 2.2 lbs.

25.5 litres of water will weigh 25.5 x 2.2 = 56.1 lbs.

56 lbs is a significant amount in the Imperial System of measurement because it is equivalent to 4 stone, or half a hundredweight.

16 ounces in a pound

14 pound in a stone

4 stone in a hundredweight

20 hundredweight in a ton
