How Many Kilograms is 100 Liters of Gasoline?

100 liters of gasoline equals 146 jin. Below are detailed descriptions about gasoline: 1. Overview: Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C, mainly composed of C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and naphthenes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. 2. Classification: Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is divided into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on the octane number. At room temperature, gasoline is a colorless to light yellow, easily flowing liquid.
I've been running an auto repair shop for a while now and have dealt with quite a few fuel-related issues. When it comes to the weight of 100 liters of gasoline, it usually works out to around 75 kilograms. Why is that? The average density of gasoline is 0.75 kilograms per liter, so a simple multiplication of 100 times 0.75 equals 75 kilograms. However, this value isn't stable. In summer, when temperatures are high, the density decreases slightly, possibly dropping to 73 kilograms; in winter, when it's colder, it can rise to 77 kilograms. Different fuel grades, like 93-octane or 97-octane, also have slightly varying densities. Additionally, when refueling at gas stations, the machines measure by volume, but the actual weight affects fuel consumption. If you overfill the tank, it can easily overflow, which isn't good for driving safety. I recommend that car owners not overlook this, especially on hot days. Checking the weight after each refuel can provide peace of mind and help reduce energy waste.
