Diesel: litres to kg
The columns are densities at 15°C in kg/m³: the low end, the middle and the high end of the range for BS VI diesel up to B7 MDG 7.6. The middle is the halfway point, (810 + 845) ÷ 2 = 827.5. It is a guide, not a typical figure. Blends B8 to B20 run 820 to 860 MDG 7.6; use the calculator for them.
| Litres | Low end 810 (kg) | Middle 827.5 (kg) | High end 845 (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.81 | 0.8275 | 0.845 |
| 5 | 4.05 | 4.1375 | 4.225 |

| 5,000 | 4,050 | 4,137.5 | 4,225 |
Petrol: litres to kg
Same sum for petrol, whose range is 720 to 775 MDG 7.6. The middle is (720 + 775) ÷ 2 = 747.5.
| Litres | Low end 720 (kg) | Middle 747.5 (kg) | High end 775 (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.72 | 0.7475 | 0.775 |
| 5 | 3.6 | 3.7375 | 3.875 |
| 10 | 7.2 | 7.475 | 7.75 |
| 15 | 10.8 | 11.2125 | 11.625 |
| 20 | 14.4 | 14.95 | 15.5 |
| 50 | 36 | 37.375 | 38.75 |
| 100 | 72 | 74.75 | 77.5 |
| 200 | 144 | 149.5 | 155 |
| 500 | 360 | 373.75 | 387.5 |

kg to litres
A lower density puts more litres in every kilo. The figures are rounded.
| Density point (diesel / petrol) | Diesel: litres in 1 kg | Diesel: litres in 1 tonne | Petrol: litres in 1 kg | Petrol: litres in 1 tonne |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low end (810 / 720) | 1.23 | 1,235 | 1.39 | 1,389 |
| Middle (827.5 / 747.5) | 1.21 | 1,208 | 1.34 | 1,338 |
| High end (845 / 775) | 1.18 | 1,183 | 1.29 | 1,290 |
How every figure is worked out
kg = litres × density ÷ 1,000, and litres = kg × 1,000 ÷ density. The litres-to-kg figures are exact, not rounded. Two checks: 1,000 × 827.5 ÷ 1,000 = 827.5 kg, and 5 × 845 ÷ 1,000 = 4.225 kg.
For example (a made-up load): the invoice shows diesel at 831.5 kg/m³ at 15°C, so 200 litres weigh 200 × 831.5 ÷ 1,000 = 166.3 kg. That sits between the middle column (165.5) and the high end (169), as it should.
Note: a litre is a volume, and the figures use the density at 15°C. General knowledge, not MDG text: a warm litre holds a little less fuel, so it weighs a little less. See density and temperature.
