This question cannot be answered sensibly. A gallon is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A pound is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. It takes only a little mental effort to compare a gallon of air and a gallon of treacle to see that the two will have very different masses.

250 gallons would make 2000 pounds. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.
