I was wondering how much one gallon of gasoline weighs? If I remember correctly it was something like 7 lbs. Just wondering so I can figure out how much weight is in my gas tank at certain times.

Being a huge NASCAR fan I believe their gas cans gold 11 gallons of gas at a weight of 75 pounds so that what 6.8 lbs?? almost 7 so your right.

Different fuels weigh different amounts, but gasoline is about 6.6lbs per gallon. Water is 8lbs/gal.

for avaition weight and balance we use 6 pounds per gallon...granted this is 100 octane low lead not lead-free 93 octane.

Right on the 6lbs per gal. Also 231cu in per gal. Just in case you wanted to know that also.

Straight from the FAQ of Team Conseco website (http://www.conseco.com/csp/team_cons...r_team_car.htm):

"Q: What kind of gasoline do the cars use?

A: NASCAR Winston Cup and NASCAR Busch Series both use only one kind of fuel, 76 Gasoline. Each car holds 22 gallons of 110 octane racing fuel."

I think you're thinking of drag racing...

I think what 2D means is anyone who is into NASCAR calls it FUEL, not GAS.
