A gallon of water is heavier (about 7 1/2 lbs per gallon) than gasoline (about 5.8 lbs per gallon).
This is also the reason that gas floats on top of water.

What is the difference in weight between gallon of water and gallon of gasoline?
Equivalent in what way? Gasoline and water are two entirely different chemical compounds. They have dissimilar physical and chemical properties because, well, they are different. Perhaps you are referring specifically to the weight of a gallon of each. If so, then the weight of a gallon of each substance is not equivalent because the gas is less dense than water, so a gallon of water weighs more. When referring to volume, a gallon of gas is equivalent to a gallon of water. Even a gallon of oxygen is equivalent to a gallon of water, in reference to volume. However, when dealing with gases, pressure, temperature, and the number of molecules of the gas must be taken into account.
47 gallons equal how many pounds?
That's depends on what fluid you want to weigh, "Water" at 8.34lbs per gallon would weigh 391.98lbs. for 47 gallons, different liquids have different weights. Example: Gas, (for car) weighs less then water, gas will float on water. depending on what type of Gas, Gas weighs from, 5.8 to 6.15lbs. per gallon.
Can gas mileage be increased with a half-full tank of gas?
At 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a gallon of pure water weighs 8.34 pounds, whereas a gallon of vehicular gasoline weighs about 6.15 pounds at that temperature. == == Diesel weights about 7.1 pounds per gallon. The answer is really in relation to how much more work the car/vehicle has to do carrying more gas around. Then I suppose you have to offset it with how uneconomic it is to have to regularly stop and fill up. Slowing a car and then accelerating again wastes gas. I suggest removal of all stop signs in the US (I am from the UK by the way)!
What weighs more one gallon of gas or one gallon of gas?
We know you'll find this nearly impossible to believe, but in the situation where they are the same gas, modern science has never been able to detect or measure any difference in their weights.
How much does lp gas weigh?
1 gallon of propane gas weighs 4.2 pounds.
How much does a gallon of soap weigh?
A gallon of soap will vary in weight from brand to brand. Different soaps have different components and different densities. A gallon of water weighs a bit over 8 pounds, so that should give you an approximate ballpark figure. Most soaps are slightly more dense than water.
How much does 25 gals gas weigh?
It depends on what you have 12.5 gallons of. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon. so 12.5 gallons x 8.34 pounds per gallon =104.25 pounrds. Gasoline weighs only about 6.2 pounds per gallon. 12.5 gallons x 6.2 pounds per gallon = 77.5 pounds.
Convert gallons of gas to greenhouse gas emissions?
An American gallon of gasoline weighs about 6.4 pounds. Not counting water vapour, ach pound of gasoline produces about 2 to 3 pounds of greenhouse gases.
When water has physical changes does the density change?
Yes, we now know that the density of ice is less than that of water. Ice takes up more space than water for a given weight. In fact the density of ice is 7.65 pounds/gallon compared to 8.35 pounds/gallon for water. Therefore, one gallon of ice weighs 7.65 pounds, but 7.65 pounds of water is only 7.65/8.35 = 0.92 gallons of water. Gas also changes but as the tempature changes so does the density.
How many gallons of water are in a gallon of gas?
Should the gas in question be water vapour then there is one gallon of water. (In gaseous form) Should the gas be anything else then it is possible that there may be some contamination. How much of that is water depends on the amount of contamination.
What is the weight of a gallon of unleaded gasoline in pounds?
That depends on how much you have! A tanker full of the stuff weighs more than a gallon of it. What you probably meant to ask is how much it weighs per unit volume. In other words, you wish to know its density. The specific gravity of gasoline is about 0.72. That is, it's about 72 percent the density of water. Since a gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, we can easily calculate the density of gas as 6.00 pounds per gallon. By the way, I say "about" above because the density of gasoline varies with temperature.
Where can one purchase a 50 gallon gas water heater?
One can purchase a 50 gallon gas water heater at a variety of department stores such as Sears, KMart, and Walmart. 50 gallon gas water heaters can also be purchased online via websites run by companies such as Amazon and Sears.
