Calculate gasoline weight, volume, or density in pounds, kilograms, US gallons, Imperial gallons, and liters using typical or custom fuel density.

Required: enter gasoline volume and choose a density basis.

Density varies with blend and temperature. Use a measured density when precision matters.

Gasoline Weight Formula

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

GW = GV * 6.073

Variables:

  • GW is the Gasoline Weight (lbs)
  • GV is the gasoline volume (gallons) 

To calculate the gasoline weight, multiply the volume of gasoline in gallons by 6.073.

How to Calculate Gasoline Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Gasoline Weight.


  1. First, determine the gasoline volume (gallons). 
  2. Next, gather the formula from above = GW = GV * 6.073.
  3. Finally, calculate the Gasoline Weight.
  4. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

gasoline volume (gallons) = 15

GW = GV * 6.073 = ?
