and you may be just trying to trick us.

How much does a 55-gallon drum of oil weigh?

How many gallons to the inch are in a 55 gallon drum?

I just created a measure stick for my rain barrel made from a 55 gallon food drum measuring 35.5 inches high. My gal per inch calc is 1.56, so 1 inch equals 1.56 gallons for my barrel. I put interval markings at every 10 gallons so my measurements were as follows: 10 gallons = 6.5" 20 gallons = 12.8" 30 gallons = 19.2" 40 gallons = 25.6" 50 gallons = 32" 55 gallons = 35.5" These are obviousely approximate and estimated for a perfectly tubular barrel, but they are close enough for my purposes.


How many gallons is 1650 kg?

It depends on what fluid you have. If it's water, it's about 435.9 gallons, depending on temperature. If you have that weight of gasoline, it's be more gallons, because gasoline is relatively light. If it's carbon tetrachloride (a solvent used for cleaning), it'd be fewer gallons. A 55-gallon drum of water weighs 458 pounds plus tare. Fill that same drum with gasoline and it's 336 pounds. Carbon tet and it's 733 pounds, more than twice as much as gasoline. And if it was mercury, it'd be REALLY heavy. Don't drop that drum on your toes!

-- You can put as much or as little as you want to into a 55-gallon drum, as long as you don't exceed 55 gallons. -- A "barrel of oil" is not a 55-gallon drum. It's 35 imperial gallons, which is approximately 42.5 US gallons. (So the price of oil by the barrel is even higher than it sounds.)
