To equal the energy content of 1 gallon of diesel fuel, it takes approximately 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas. This is based on the average energy content of diesel fuel, which is around 130,000 British thermal units (BTUs) per gallon, compared to natural gas, which has an energy content of about 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot. Therefore, the conversion is roughly 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas for each gallon of diesel.
One gallon of diesel fuel is equal to 139,200 BTU. The man who invented the compression-ignition engine was Rudolf Diesel. This is where diesel fuel gets its name.
1 Us Gallon is = 7.149 pounds
Diesel fuel weighs 1 gallon
If you are asking about diesel fuel, one gallon of diesel fuel weighs about 7 pounds.That's the American gallon, a British gallon of diesel would weigh about 8 pounds.
The density of petroleum diesel fuel is about 0.85 kilograms per litre (7.09 pounds per gallon).
Based on Type 2 diesel fuel, one Imperail gallon of fuel will weight 8.93 lbs
Diesel will always give you better fuel mileage as diesel fuel itself contains more BTU (the measure of thermal energy) in a given quantity than compared to gas.So therefore a diesel engine can extract more mileage out of a gallon of diesel fuel as there is more energy to extract out of that gallon as compared to a gallon of gas.Considering this, this is why diesel fuel prices would have to rise considerably over gas before the two would be equal on a cost per mile basis.
In 2001, the US national average price of a gallon of diesel fuel was $1.40 - equivalent to about $1.72 per gallon in 2010.
The weight of 1 US gallon of diesel fuel is approximately 7 pounds (3.15 kilograms).
The density of No. 2 diesel fuel is approximately 7.15 pounds per US gallon. So Here is a little math for you... take 2000lbs(1 ton) Divide by 7.15 and you will get your answer. approximately 279.70 gallons of No. 2 diesel Fuel is equal to 1 ton.
Yes, diesel fuel is typically sold in the United States by the gallon at gas stations and other fueling stations.
To convert pounds to gallons for diesel fuel, you need to know the density. On average, 1 gallon of diesel fuel weighs about 7 pounds. Therefore, 207,538 pounds of diesel fuel would be approximately 29,648 gallons (207,538 pounds / 7 pounds per gallon).
