Best Answer

The unit weight of sand/soil is 105 lbs/cu ft
1-gallon (dry) is equivalent to 0.156 cu ft
So a 55-gallon drum has a capacity of 55*0.156 = 8.58 cu ft

Soil unit weight * drum capacity cu ft = 105*8.58 = 900.9 lbs

A barrel of oil (assuming that's what you mean by a drum) is 42 US gallons, (160 liters) That is not all gasoline of course, there are other fractions like kerosene, diesel, and heavy fuel oil to come out of the crude. Crude varies in composition too, from field to field, the lighter types of crude will give a higher proportion of gasoline.

A standard oil drum can contain 55 gallons of oil. They are also referred to as 55-gallon drums in the US, but are called 44-gallon drums in the UK, Canada, Ireland and South Africa, and a 200-litre drum in Australia.
