How Many Liters is One Jin of Gasoline?
2 Answers
Jin and liters are not interchangeable units; conversion requires knowing the density. Due to seasonal climate variations, gasoline density can slightly change. The average densities are as follows: 90-octane gasoline averages 0.72g/ml; 93-octane gasoline has a density of 0.725g/ml; 97-octane gasoline has a density of 0.737g/ml; -20 diesel has a density of 0.83g/ml. Therefore, one jin of 90-octane gasoline is approximately 0.695 liters; one jin of 93-octane gasoline is approximately 0.690 liters; one jin of 97-octane gasoline is approximately 0.678 liters; one jin of -20 diesel is approximately 0.602 liters.
How many liters is approximately one jin of gasoline? In China, one jin is 500 grams, equivalent to 0.5 kilograms. The density of gasoline is not fixed, averaging between 0.72 to 0.78 grams per milliliter, approximately 0.75 kilograms per liter. Thus, the volume of one jin of gasoline is 0.5 divided by 0.75 liters, equating to about 0.67 liters. However, density is greatly affected by temperature—gasoline density is higher in cold winters, resulting in a smaller volume, while in hot summers, the density is lower, and the volume increases. Additionally, different grades of gasoline have slightly varying densities; for example, ethanol-blended gasoline may be slightly less dense. Normally, refueling is measured in liters rather than by weight because volume is easier to measure. Understanding this can help car owners better comprehend fuel consumption, avoid waste, and promote environmental protection. Regular checks on fuel quality are also important.
