Can not convert tons to gallons without knowing what it is a ton of... feathers or lead? That's a wrong answer. A ton is a ton irrespective of the commodity. I think you're involving "volume" or cube and over-complicating it. Also, there was a clue in the question. Neither feathers nor lead are generally calculated in US Gallons and it's fair to say the the commodity involved is a liquid
If you convert one metric ton of water to gallons, you would have 264.2 US gallons. This is equal to 220 UK gallons.
1 US short ton = 2,000 lbs 1 long (or metric) ton = 2,240 lbs In the US and Canada it is generally accepted that 1 ton = 2,000 lbs 4.4 tons = 4.4 * 2000 = 8,800 lbs
280000 lbs 1 US (short) ton = 2000 lb 1 UK (long) ton = 2240 lb 1 tonne (metric) = 2204.6 lb
2,940 US gallons of water weighs about 11.14 metric tons.
One US gallon = 3.7854118 liters - but then you have the "Imperial gallon" that is even "bigger" whereas a liter remains the same..
Since gallon is a volume unit and the metric ton is a weight unit there is no possible conversion factor. It all depends on the density of the material.
If you convert one metric ton of water to gallons, you would have 264.2 US gallons. This is equal to 220 UK gallons.
1 tonne is = 1000 kg / 4.5 so 180/4.5=40per gallon (?!) Metric ton = 2204.6 lbs. US gallon = 8.35 lbs. 264 gallons in one metric ton. 264 gallons x .68¢ = $179.52. Based on $180 US per 'metric' ton the cost per US gallon is .68¢ . Please remove original posters answer. (actual cost of jet fuel as of April 2011 is approx. 3.50 gal.)

To convert metric tons of naphtha to US gallons, you need to know the density of naphtha, which is typically around 0.7 to 0.8 kg/L. Using an average density of 0.75 kg/L, 1 metric ton (1,000 kg) of naphtha would be approximately 1,333 liters. Since 1 US gallon is about 3.785 liters, this equals roughly 352 US gallons in 1 metric ton of naphtha.
About 1.10231 US tons per metric ton.

Metric tonne is mass and a gallon is volume; they are not convertibleIf you know the weight of the chemical (liquid) per gallon - you could then convert the Metric Tonne weight to gallons. Water is 8.34 pounds or 3.78 kilograms at 62 °F (17 °C), per Gallon.
Ton/Short ton/Net ton: 2000 lbs (US and metric systems) Long ton/Gross Ton: 2240 lbs (US and metric systems) Tonne/Metric ton: 2250 lbs or 1000 kg (metric system only) +++ The "Long Ton" (2240lbs) is called simply the "Ton" here in the UK, where in fact the tonne (1000kg) is now the official unit for trade and technical purposes.
A tonne is a metric unit, equivalent to 1,000 kg. A ton is an imperial unit (long ton) equivalent to 2240 avoirdupois pounds and US customary unit (short ton) equivalent to 2,000 US pounds. 1 tonne = 1.10231 short tons = 0.984206528 long tons.
