COMPOSITION OF A
Barrel of Oil
One (1) barrel (42 U.S. Gal) of crude oil = 44.60 U.S. Gal of petroleum products.
The increase in volume is due to refinery processing gain (similar to what happens to popcorn when it is popped).
Please confirm your calculations with your engineering or electrical team.
