How much does a gallon of gas weigh?

Thanks Kirk

Thanks Fred, sending the props to Mercury to have them labbed, now that the season is over for me. Trying to get an exact weight on the boat.

ding! Ding! Ding! .... what does he win Don Pardo???

i'm not sure about gas but water is 8.5 # and salt water is 10# per gallon so gas should be close to that

Automotive fuel is usually rounded to 7 pounds per gallon, I know some plane guys use it too, maybe it's just a safety margin.

Pump gas is awful close to 6 pounds. Diesel is closer to 7 pounds. Water is a shade over 8. Figure a smidge over 7 for lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids.

GAS 7.48 LBS/GAL
WATER 8.33 LBS/GAL

my fish tank is 1600 gallons do you think it is heavy?

see this link:

gasoline: 6.2 lb. per US gallon
lubricating oil: 7.2 lb. per US gallon
diesel: 7.0 lb. per US gallon

Your right on the gasoline weight.
6.2 lb/gal on 87 octane
6.21 on 89
6.4 on 93
diesel 7.0 lbs
water 8.33 lbs/gal
I got the 7.48 for # of gallons per cubic feet of water.

I have seen numbers on Gasoline from 5.8 to 6.5 Pounds per gallon
Fresh water and sea water I have also seen 62-62.5 pounds and 64 pounds per cubic Foot used respectively

1 gallon of ethonol weighs around 6.59 Pounds

Also 4 tablespoons of a Neutron Star would weigh around A Billion Tons Have not seen that . Yet!

I was just going to ask, What type/octane gas are you referring to?
We found there is a difference.

5.4lbs to 6.2lbs depending on temp.
6.0lbs is close enough.
