Conversion Chart

Thought somebody here might want to use this link to calculate fuel weights

http://www.boeing-727.com/Data/fluid...nversions.html


Edit: is based on a standard SG of .8 to keep it simple.

nah!
Just gives you an idea of how much weight you add to the boat when you fuel it up
so if you put on 40 gall it weights 144 kilos / 320lbs

Hmm, so when I fuel up I'm carrying a little bit shy of half a tonne of petrol. Nice.

You mean you add the equivalent of my boat's weight in fuel!

Probably equivalent of it's value too.
