Tonnes to cubic metres
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Okay, so how many cubic metres would 2720 tonnes of fuel occupy?[/i][/b]

You have to know the density or specific gravity of the fuel, which varies from gasoline, to fuel oil. But the specific gravity is usually between 0.7-0.9. Crude oil (unprocessed) is more likely in the range 0.8-1.
Using 0.8 as a rough estimate figure 800 kg or 0.8 metric tons per cubic meter. If you need a more precise figure, you have to get a density value for the fuel.

Using my example figure of sg = 0.8 (specific gravity is relative to water, which is 1 t/m^3)
2720 tonnes fuel x 1 m^3/0.8 tonnes = 3400 m^3
You just divide by the density, but you may need some units conversion depending on the density units used. However, 1 kg/L = 1 t/m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3
