Hi all, i am trying to determine the weight of a 150 litre diesel fuel tank when full, on my L/C Troopy...any idea?
.....Cheers.

Guess estimate 150Kg for the Fuel and 20Kg for the tank. Peter

Given that diesel fuel weighs about 900 grams /litre the fuel weighs 135 kg.
To that you add the weight of the tank itself, which will depend on the type of material used and its thickness.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INFO'..............Cheers.

Could you convert those figures to imperial for us?

 

you're getting too tangled up in the maths here just allow roughly 1 kilo to the litre and it will work out near enough, given that the weight of the container and it's acompanying hardware is not known and that is assuming the tank is exactly 150 litres which I will bet my undies it's not allow around 140 - 150 kilos for your diesel and 10 - 15 kilos for the tank take a stab in the dark and say 155 - 160 all up and you wouldnt be too far off!

1.9 pound = 0.861 825 503 kilogram
150 x 0.861 825 503 = 129.27 KG

 

A 150L steel tank is likely to weigh MUCH more than the 10-20kg estimated above. Standard Troopies have dual 90L tanks from memory... A 150L tank would be aftermarket and I would guess at 40kg....possibly more... Cheers, Peter

HI, thanks for the data.

Isn't it 2.2lbs to the kilo?

Correct...........thank you & cheers.

I'm not sure of the weight of an empty diesel tank, I have dropped many in my time and replaced them myself and never really thought that much about it assuming a few things here but I do a lot of concreting around home and am very familiar with a forty kilo bag of cement, I dont think a troopy diesel tank would weigh as much as that I would think 30 kilos would see them through

OK Thanks....
