How do I convert kg to gallons?
Type the kilograms and the density, and the US gallons show as you type. Water is 1 kg per liter. Fill any two of kg, density, and gallons to find the third.
- US gallons (gal)
- 0.264172
1 kg = 0.264172 gallons.
US gallons (gal): 0.264172. 1 kg = 0.264172 gallons.
US gallons (gal) by kilograms (kg)
How to calculate
Converts kg to gallons and back: gal = kg ÷ (density (kg/L) × 3.785411784).

- Kilograms (kg) 3.785412, Density (kg/L) 1 gives US gallons (gal) 1.Source: NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B.8: 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 L
- Kilograms (kg) 10, Density (kg/L) 1 gives US gallons (gal) 2.641721.Source: NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B.8: 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 L
- Kilograms (kg) 1, Density (kg/L) 0.92 gives US gallons (gal) 0.287144.Source: NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B.8: 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 L
Other questions people ask
How do I convert kg to gallons?
Divide the kilograms by the density in kg/L to get liters, then divide by 3.785411784 liters per US gallon: gal = kg ÷ (density × 3.785411784).
How many gallons is 1 kg of water?
1 ÷ 3.785411784 = 0.264172 US gallon, at 1 kg per liter. 10 kg of water is 2.641721 gallons.
How much does a gallon of water weigh?
About 3.785 kg (8.345 lb), because a US gallon is 3.785411784 liters and water is about 1 kg per liter.
Are these US or UK gallons?
US gallons, 3.785411784 L (NIST SP 811). A UK (imperial) gallon is 4.54609 L, so the same weight is about 17% fewer UK gallons.
What density should I use?
Water is 1 kg/L. From USDA cup weights (kg/L = grams per cup ÷ 236.5882365): whole milk about 1.03, olive oil about 0.91, and honey about 1.43. A label or a data sheet gives the exact density of other liquids.
