Best Answer

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches = 231/1,728 cubic ft

5 gallons = 5 x 231 / 1,728 cubic ft

The weight of water varies with temperature. At normal comfortable temperatures,

it's around 62.4 pounds per cubic ft.

Weight of 5 gallons = 5 x 231 x 62.4 / 1,728 = 41.7083 pounds (rounded), minus the weight of the container.
