The density of Number 6 oil (Bunker C fuel) varies by temperature and manufacturer. Because it is a residual fuel oil (what's left over after better grade oils are removed) and can contain varying amounts of water and other impurities, the oil from different manufacturers are different densities.

On average, Number 6 fuel oil has a density of around .98 grams per mL.

One US gallon is 3785 mL, which would be 3709.3 grams, or 3.71 kg.

3.71 kg = around 8.2 pounds.
