In Airbus A300 , the R (L) outer fuel tank carries 1223 US GAL of fuel on each tank , if we want this quantity in Tonnes , how we calculate it ? suppose the density = 0,798

1 US gal is 3.785 litres so therefore each 1223 gal tank holds ( 1223* 3.785)= 4630 litres which weighs (4630*0.789)= 3650kg (3.65 tons)
