Volume
Convert oil barrel (bbl) to US gallon (US gal). Volume sizes tanks, vessels, and batch charges, in m³, litres, US gallons, or barrels.
1 bbl = 42 US gal
To convert oil barrel to US gallon, multiply the bbl value by 42. To go the other way, divide by 42 (or multiply by 0.02380952).
| bbl | US gal |
|---|---|
| 1 | 42 |
| 2 | 84 |
| 5 | 210 |
| 10 | 420 |
| 25 | 1050 |
| 50 | 2100 |
| 100 | 4200 |
| 250 | 10500 |
| 500 | 21000 |
| 1000 | 42000 |
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 2641.721 US gal.
Multiply the value in bbl by 42 to get US gal. For example, 10 bbl = 420 US gal.
1 bbl equals 42 US gal.
