Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon. Oil floats in water so it will be less than 8 pounds, but not a lot less. And it will depend on what type of oil. Heavy crude will be different then vegetable oil.
Propane burns 91,547 b.t.u.'s an hour per gallon of propane. Depending on the b.t.u. output of the appliance you are running you should be able to calculate how many hours you can use your tank.

Type your answer here... there are around 91,600 BTUs in a gallon of propane. The standard BBQ sized bottle of propane contains 11 pounds of propane. Propane weighs about 4.2 pounds per gallon, so that 11 pounds of propane is about 2.5 gallons in its liquid state. That means there is 91,600 BTUs/Gal times 2.5 gallons so a BBQ sized tank of propane contains about 2.3 million BTUs. If your BBQ has a 50,000 BTU burner, on high heat, it will last a bit over 4 and half hours of run time.
