Sorry to ask this silly easy question but i've not had much success with the search engines!
How many kilogrames does 1 litre of petrol weigh? cheers Dom |

IIRC petrol is less dense than water. For water 1l weighs 1kg. I think petrol is about 0.7 to 0.75 g.cm^-3. Hence 1l is abot 700 to 750g.

That's about 1kg per pound...
