How Many Liters Are in One Ton of Gasoline?
1 Answers
One ton of gasoline is approximately equal to 1,355 liters. Ton is a unit of mass, while liter is a unit of volume. The conversion can only be approximate because it depends on the density of the oil. For example, the density is higher in the first and fourth quarters, around 0.738 kilograms per liter. Based on this standard, it is not difficult to calculate how many liters of gasoline are in one ton. Gasoline is a colorless to pale yellow, highly mobile liquid at room temperature, difficult to dissolve in water, and flammable. Its distillation range is between 30°C and 205°C, and it can explode when its concentration in the air reaches 74 to 123 grams per cubic meter and encounters a flame. The calorific value of gasoline is approximately 44,000 kilojoules per kilogram (the calorific value of fuel refers to the heat produced by the complete combustion of 1 kilogram of fuel).
