Which equation represents a convertion of 1 US gallon AVGAS into lbs?
This question indicates an expectation that you should know Specific Gravities (SG) for various fuels.
For reference, the common SG in aviation are:
- AVGAS: 0.72
- Jet B: 0.77
- JetA1 or A: 0.8
From the general M&B syllabus we know:
- 1 USG = 3.785 L
- 1 kg = 2.205 lb
Applying the AVGAS SG of 0.72 we can calculate: 3.785 x 0.72 x 2.205 = 6 lbs.
