Volume
Convert oil barrel (bbl) to litre (L). Volume sizes tanks, vessels, and batch charges, in m³, litres, US gallons, or barrels.
1 bbl = 158.9873 L
To convert oil barrel to litre, multiply the bbl value by 158.9873. To go the other way, divide by 158.9873 (or multiply by 0.006289811).
| bbl | L |
|---|---|
| 1 | 158.9873 |
| 2 | 317.9746 |
| 5 | 794.9365 |
| 10 | 1589.873 |

Tank and vessel capacities are quoted in m³ or US gallons; oil volumes in barrels.
A US gallon and an Imperial gallon differ by about 20 % — confirm which one a spec means.
Worked example. A volume of 62.89811 bbl is 10000 L.
Multiply the value in bbl by 158.9873 to get L. For example, 10 bbl = 1589.873 L.
1 bbl equals 158.9873 L.
