Ah, what a lovely question! You see, it all depends on the density of the base oil. If the density is 0.92 grams per milliliter (which is common for base oils), then 1 metric ton would be approximately 1,086 liters. Isn't that just a happy little fact to know?

The density of no 2 oil is given as 0.72 kg/liter (Wikipedia), therefore 1 metric ton of 1000 kilograms will contain 1389 liters = 365.5 US gallons
you would convert it buy using specific gravity. the specific gravity of fuel oil is 0.893 at 60F. so that said 1 liter of furnace oil would weigh 893g. one metric tonne of furnace oil would equal roughly 1120 liters
One metric ton of oil is equivalent to approximately 1,000 liters, depending on the density of the specific type of oil. Generally, most liquid oils have a density close to 0.8 to 0.9 kg/L. Thus, a metric ton of oil can be roughly estimated to be around 1,100 to 1,250 liters, but the exact volume can vary with the specific oil type.
A liter of water IS a kilogram. Since oil is lighter, it's about .625 kg
Well what type of oil, as a gallon of 10w30 is different than 5w60.
