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
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.
Slightly more than 720,461 barrels. A single metric ton = 1,000kg. So in 100,000 metric tons there are 100,000,000kg (one-hundred million.) A standard barrel of oil weighs 138.8kg. (See link) So, 100,000,000 / 138.8 = 720,461.095 barrels.
