You start out with what kind of an airplane you have. Let's use a very popular airplane, the King Air B200GT. It burns about 660 lbs/hour of fuel to go 300 knots. If you want to fly for two hours, multiply 660 lbs by two hours, and you'll find you need 1320 lbs of fuel to complete the mission. (Since they don't sell it by the pound, divide 1320 by 6.7--what a gallon of fuel weighs--to get a little over 197 gallons, then order 250 gallons in case you have to divert to your alternate airport.

How do you convert liters to gallons for jet A1?
There are two main types of jet fuel used for commercial turbine engines. The vast majority of turbine engines use a kerosene type of fuel, labeled Jet A-1 or Jet A. A blended kerosene and gasoline type, considered "wide-cut" and labeled Jet B, is rarely used except in very cold climates. Military jet fuels use variations of these two fuels, with the majority using the kerosene-type jet fuel.- Determine the number of gallons of jet fuel to be weighed.- Select the conversion factor, determined by the type of fuel. For kerosene types of fuel, use 6.76 pounds per U.S. gallon. For wide-cut kerosene types of fuel, use 6.36 pounds per U.S. gallon. If you are uncertain of the fuel type, use the standard kerosene type fuel conversion, since the other type is rarely used.- Multiply the number of gallons by the conversion factor. As an example, a Boeing 747 holds 57,164 gallons of fuel. Multiplying this by 6.76 pounds per gallon gives you the total fuel weight of 386,429 pounds.
