If we are talking about light sweet crude oil, a common grade of oil traded on the commodities market, it weighs roughly 7lbs per gallon. A common oil drum holds 55 gallons for a per drum, at a weight of 385lbs per drum. The "metric tonne", = 1000kg or 2,250lbs. The US uses the standard system who's term is also "ton" which equals 2,000lbs. So 2,250lbs / 385lbs= 5.844 drums per metric tonne or 2,000lbs/385=5.195 drums per standard ton.
