How Many Liters is One Jin of Gasoline?

Jin and liter are not standardized units of measurement and cannot be directly converted; density must be known for calculation. Below is the relevant information: Seasonal variations affect density: The average density of 90-octane gasoline is 0.72g/ml. The density of 93-octane gasoline is 0.725g/ml. The density of 97-octane gasoline is 0.737g/ml. The density of -20 diesel is 0.83g/ml. One jin of gasoline: Approximately 0.695 liters for 90-octane gasoline. Approximately 0.690 liters for 93-octane gasoline. Approximately 0.678 liters for 97-octane gasoline. Approximately 0.602 liters for -20 diesel.
As someone who has been in the automotive industry for many years, I often get asked this conversion question. One jin (500 grams) of gasoline is equivalent to 500 grams. The density of gasoline typically ranges from 0.72 to 0.77 grams per milliliter, with an average of 0.75. Calculating this, 500 divided by 750 equals approximately 0.6667 liters, or roughly 0.67 liters in simpler terms. This is highly practical because during maintenance or refueling, precise measurements can prevent waste or engine damage. For example, when replacing an old car oil filter, knowing how many liters are in one jin of oil ensures you add the right amount, avoiding overfilling that could cause malfunctions or underfilling that could affect performance. Since fuel prices are calculated per liter, understanding this conversion allows for a more intuitive comparison of cost per jin, helping to save money. I recommend keeping a simple electronic scale handy for easy unit conversions in daily use.
