There is 42 gallons of crude oil in a barrel. This oil is refined into several different products including gasoline, diese fuel, jet fuel, etc. Each 42-gallon barrel produces approximately 44.2 gallons of refined products. The approximately 5% increased represents a "processing gain." With that said, 52,000 gallons of diesel fuel would be produced from approximately 49,412 gallons of crude oil. The formula is: 42 gal crude oil yields 44.2 gal refined fuels

49412 gal crude oil yields 52000 gal diesel fuel crude oil * 1.05 = refined fuels

where crude oil is X,

X * 1.05 = 52000

X = 52000 / 1.05

X = 49412 gals of crude oil
