A
gallon is a measure of
volume.
A
ton is a measure of
mass.
It depends on what material you are considering.
1 gallon of water weighs a lot less than a gallon of mercury.
However, if we are talking about water, a gallon of water weighs 8.33 pounds/gallon.
So 1 gallon = 8.33 pounds / 2000 pounds per ton = 0.004165 tons.
Therefore 1000 gallons = 4.165 tons
