Well a barrel of oil weights about 500lbs full and that is 55 gallons of oil. (205L) so a Short ton (2000lbs) would be about 4 barrels so about 820L of oil
1 ton of oil is called 1 ton of oil. Oil is usually measured in barrels which equal 42 gallons. So making some assumptions a ton of oil would be about 6 barrels or so.
Of course, it depends upon the size of the wheel barrel, but for sake of example, assume that each wheel barrel holds 100 lbs. There are 2000 lbs per ton. 1 ton X 2000 lbs/ton / 100 lbs/wheel barrel = 20 wheel barrels.
1 (long) ton = 2240 lbs (Imperial) 1 (short) ton = 2000 lbs (US)
