How much does a gallon of Diesel Fuel weigh?
Answer:
This answer is for room temperature.it varies with temperature (see source 1)
______________________________
1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liter
Density of diesel= 900 kg/m³ (see source 2)
1 liter = 0.001 cubic meters (volume)
and
Weight= volume×density
weight of 1 gallon of diesel is
= 3.78*900*.001
= 3.402 kg or 7.49 pounds approximately
______________________________...
A little under 8 pounds, maybe closer to 7.25
From about 7.0 to 7.1 lbs. It's kind of hard to pin down exactly because as with all hydrocarbon fuels, the density varies pretty considerably with fuelstock quality and source. But a fairly reasonable benchmark for specific gravity of diesel is about 0.85. Work that into 8.34 lbs per gallon of water and you get about 7.09 lbs per gallon of diesel.
