Api gravity to pounds per gallon?

Well, darling, API gravity is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. To convert API gravity to pounds per gallon, you'll need to use a specific formula that takes into account the density of water and some other fancy factors. So, grab your calculator and get ready to crunch some numbers if you want to make that conversion happen.

How much does 1 US gal of diesel fuel weigh in US lbs?

The weight can vary. Heavy oil weighs more than light oil. To determine the weight, we need to know the density of the oil, which is given as degrees API. Density in pounds per gallon = 141.5/(131.5 + API) *62.4 So a heavy oil. (10 degrees API for example) , has a density of 62.4 pounds per gallon, and one gallon weighs 62.4 pounds. A medium weight oil (30 degrees API for example) has a density of 54.7 pounds per gallon and one gallon weights 54.7 pounds. A light weight oil (50 degrees API for example) has a density of 48.6 pounds per gallon and one gallon weights 48.6 pounds. The density units of API stand for the American Petroleum Institute. I note that a density of 10 deg API is the same as the density of water, below 10 degrees, the oil will sink. I also note that if double the API density, I do not double the density of the oil as measured in pounds per gallon.
