How many gallons of ULSD per Metric Ton?

Answer 1

the average density of ULSD is around 0.832 kg/liter or 832 kg/m³

To convert gallons to metric tons, we need to consider the following factors:

• 1 metric ton = 1,000 kilograms
• 1 kilogram = 0.001 metric ton
• 1 liter = 0.001 cubic meter

Using the average density of ULSD mentioned above, we can calculate the conversion:

Density of ULSD = 0.832 kg/liter

Density of ULSD = 832 kg/m³

To convert gallons to cubic meters (m³), we need to know the conversion factor between gallons and liters. There are 3.78541 liters in a gallon. Therefore:

1 gallon ≈ 3.78541 liters

Now, let's calculate the conversion:

1 gallon ≈ 3.78541 liters ≈ 0.00378541 m³

Using the density of ULSD, we can determine the volume of 1 metric ton of ULSD:

Volume of 1 metric ton of ULSD = (1,000 kg) / (832 kg/m³) ≈ 1.2019 m³

Finally, we can calculate the number of gallons per metric ton of ULSD:

1 metric ton of ULSD ≈ 1.2019 m³ ≈ 1.2019 / 0.00378541 ≈ 317.51 gallons

so... there are approximately 317.51 gallons of ULSD per metric ton, using the average density of ULSD as an approximation. Please note that this value may vary slightly depending on the specific density of the ULSD used.
