How many kilograms is one liter of gasoline?
2 Answers
One liter of gasoline is equivalent to 1.45 kilograms. Below is a detailed introduction to gasoline: 1. Classification: Gasoline products can be divided into three main categories based on their usage: aviation gasoline, automotive gasoline, and solvent gasoline. Aviation gasoline and automotive gasoline are primarily used as fuel for gasoline engines, widely applied in cars, motorcycles, speedboats, helicopters, and agricultural or forestry aircraft. 2. Avoid mixing different grades: Mixing gasoline grades does not have a significant impact on the vehicle itself, but it is advisable to avoid mixing gasoline as much as possible. Since gasoline is a mixture, the gasoline grades we commonly encounter refer to the different octane ratings. While the octane rating between two grades may not greatly affect the engine, to ensure vehicle safety, it is best to avoid mixing gasoline grades when refueling.
One liter of gasoline weighs approximately 1.45 jin (Chinese pounds), which is a practical conversion. As a car owner who frequently refuels myself, I find it quite useful to remember this value. Since the density of gasoline isn't fixed—generally around 0.725 kg/L—it tends to be slightly less dense and lighter in weight during hot summers, and slightly heavier in winters. So in practical use, don't be too rigid about it, as gas station pumps may also have errors. If you're weighing or calculating fuel consumption, it's best to check the density at the current temperature. I remember once I refueled 50 liters of gasoline, roughly 72.5 kilograms, which converts to about 145 jin—equivalent to the weight of an adult in the car. Understanding this can help you avoid being cheated, especially at some private gas stations where they might manipulate the density.
