The density of No. 2 diesel fuel is approximately 7.15 pounds per US gallon. So Here is a little math for you... take 2000lbs(1 ton) Divide by 7.15 and you will get your answer. approximately 279.70 gallons of No. 2 diesel Fuel is equal to 1 ton.

About 7 pounds (it's lighter than water).
The density of diesel fuel is approximately 0.85 grams per cubic centimeter. Since 1 ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms, and 1 liter of diesel fuel weighs approximately 850 grams, we can calculate that there are approximately 1,176.47 liters in a ton of diesel (1000 kg / 0.85 kg/L = 1176.47 L).
Approximately 1000-1500 kW is needed to generate 1 ton of steam depending on the efficiency of the boiler and the type of fuel used.
The amount of diesel fuel needed to generate 1 kW of electricity varies depending on the efficiency of the generator. On average, a diesel generator may consume about 0.25 to 0.4 liters of diesel fuel per kWh produced. Therefore, to generate 1 kW of electricity for one hour, approximately 0.25 to 0.4 liters of diesel fuel would be required, depending on the generator's efficiency and load conditions.
Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.
Electrics, followed by diesel, followed by steam.
Steam engine: external combustion (the fuel is burnt in the boiler and the steam led through pipes etc to the power cylinder(s). Diesel (and petrol and gas): internal combustion - the fuel is burnt in the cylinder. Otherwise they are all Heat Engines.
1. Can be made in much greater output plants 2. Steam plants can use a variety of fuel sources including nuclear fuel, whilst diesel fuel is more expensive and best reserved for transport use.
The heat from coal turns water into steam. It is the steam that turns generator turbine blades to create electricity.
The part within a fossil fuel power station where water is converted to steam is called the boiler. In the boiler, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil are burned to generate heat, which is then used to convert water into steam. This steam is crucial for driving turbines that generate electricity.
300 kw power generate and fuel consumption
Railroad trains have - and continue to - run on any of three powers: Coal (steam), diesel fuel, and electricity.
The diesel engine is generally more powerful than a steam engine, primarily due to its higher thermal efficiency and ability to generate greater torque. Diesel engines can deliver more power in a smaller and lighter package, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from vehicles to heavy machinery. While steam engines can produce significant power, they are often less efficient and require more maintenance due to their complexity and reliance on water and fuel sources. Overall, diesel engines are more versatile and powerful for modern use.
The main fuel IS diesel fuel for both both trains and ships, most freight trains run on electric motors that are powered in most cases by diesel engined generators, while passenger trains are powered by diesel, or directly from an overhead power line, or electrified rail. Trains of course used to be powered by steam, fired by wood or coal. old sailing ships obviously used to be powered by wind and/or manpower. Later they were powered by steam, usually coal fired, and then by diesel fuel.
