📖 About Kg to Gallons

Volumetric Fluid Metrology & ICAO Aviation Standards

Converting mass in kilograms to volume in gallons requires dividing mass by density to get liters, then dividing by the gallon standard.

Primary Liquid Substance Conversions ($100\text{ kg}$)

  • Fresh Water: $100\text{ kg} = 26.42\text{ US gal} = 100.0\text{ L}$
  • Diesel Fuel: $100\text{ kg} = 31.08\text{ US gal} = 117.6\text{ L}$
  • Jet A-1 Aviation Fuel: $100\text{ kg} = 32.86\text{ US gal} = 124.4\text{ L}$
  • Automotive Gasoline: $100\text{ kg} = 35.70\text{ US gal} = 135.1\text{ L}$
  • Liquid Propane LPG: $100\text{ kg} = 51.80\text{ US gal} = 196.1\text{ L}$

Equations

  • $V_{\text{US gal}} = \frac{\text{Mass (kg)}}{\text{Density} \times 3.785411784}$
  • $m_{\text{kg}} = V_{\text{US gal}} \times 3.785411784 \times \text{Density}$
