FAQ
How much does a gallon of gasoline weigh?
6.1–6.4 lb/gal (calculator uses 6.3). That is 0.75 kg per litre (SG 0.73–0.77).
How much does a 55-gallon drum of gasoline weigh?
About 346 lb of liquid, plus roughly 40–50 lb for a steel drum. A brim-full drum actually holds ~57.7 gal — see the drum chart.
Why a range instead of one number?
Grades and blends differ in API gravity, so an honest figure is a span; the calculator uses the typical mid value.
