Aviation gasoline, commonly known as avgas, typically weighs around 6 to 6.5 pounds per gallon, depending on its specific formulation. This weight can vary slightly based on the temperature and the precise blend of hydrocarbons used in the fuel. Understanding the weight of avgas is important for flight planning and aircraft performance calculations.
6 pounds per gallon
Aviation gasoline (Avgas) weighs 6 lb. per gallon. Jet fuel (kerosene) weighs 6.84 lb. per gallon.
Gasoline weighs about 6.2 lbs per gallon.
The weight of 1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs.
The weight of 1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs.
The specific weight of gasoline is 6.073 pounds per gallon. The density of gasoline varies due to the quality of the gasoline, but is generally between 0.71-0.77 kilograms per liter.
Aviation gasoline (avgas) has an average weight of slightly over 6 pounds per gallon (6.02) at a Standard Day temperature of 15 degrees C or 59 degrees F.
To estimate the weight of one gallon of gasoline, divide the total weight of gasoline in the tank by the number of gallons. So, 129.8 pounds divided by 22 gallons equals approximately 5.9 pounds per gallon. Therefore, one gallon of gasoline weighs about 5.9 pounds.
AVGAS (aviation gasoline) typically weighs around 6.0 to 6.3 pounds per gallon.
Gasoline typically weighs about 6 to 6.3 pounds per gallon, depending on its composition and temperature. This weight can vary slightly based on factors such as the specific blend of gasoline and environmental conditions. Generally, for most calculations, using an average weight of 6.1 pounds per gallon is common.
At night or in early morning it tends to be cooler that at midday. Thus gasoline at that time would also be cooler and more dense, so a gallon of gasoline would weight more.Since gas is sold by the gallon, the cooler it is, the more weight (or mass) of the gasoline that you receive would be higher per gallon.OR, you get more actual gasoline per gallon (and per dollar.)
Around 6 lbs. Depends on temperature and elevation.
