Enter the total volume of fuel (gallons) into the Aviation Fuel Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Aviation Fuel Weight. 

Aviation Fuel Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Aviation Fuel Weight.

AFW = VF * 6.7

Variables:

  • AFW is the Aviation Fuel Weight (lbs)
  • VF is the total volume of fuel (gallons) 

To calculate the aviation fuel weight, multiply the total volume of fuel by 6.7.

How to Calculate Aviation Fuel Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Aviation Fuel Weight.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total volume of fuel (gallons).
    • The total volume of fuel (gallons) is given as: 100.
  2. Finally, calculate the Aviation Fuel Weight using the equation above: 

AFW = VF * 6.7

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

AFW = 100 * 6.7 = 670.00 (lbs)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total volume of fuel (gallons) = 200
