roughly 6.8 lbs
Fuel oil (diesel, home heating oil) has a specific gravity of about 0.8. Heavy bunker fuels can be closer to 1.0. The weight of a US gallon of oil can then range between 6.4 lb and 8 lb.

One gallon of paint weighs approximately 8.33 pounds. Therefore 55 gallons would weigh 458.15 pounds. Factoring in a weight of 25 pounds for the drum, the total would be about 483.15 pounds.
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.

1 gallon of oil weighs 7.344 lbs.
1 Gallon of oil weighs 7.344 pounds. Used oil may weigh slightly more.
8lbs
1 US gallon would weigh approx 39.8 newtons.
On average, a gallon of motor oil weighs about 7.6 to 7.8 pounds.
7.2 lbs a gallon
7.3 pounds
about 7 pounds
not counting the weight of the bucket itself, the oil would weigh around 37 pounds.
1 gallon of vegetable oil will weigh approximately 7.6 lbs so divide that by 16 ...[1 gallon = 16 cups]...7.6 divided by 16 =0.475
About 6 lbs per gallon.
