About International table BTU per UK gallon
The international table BTU per UK gallon (BTU(IT)/gal(UK)) equals 1055.05585262 J / 4.54609 × 10⁻³ m³ ≈ 232079.84 J/m³. Used in the UK petroleum industry for expressing fuel energy content, particularly for liquid fuels and heating oil before metrication. 1 BTU(IT)/gal(UK) ≈ 232.08 kJ/m³.
About Kilojoule per litre
The kilojoule per litre (kJ/L) equals exactly 10⁶ J/m³ = 1 MJ/m³ (since 1 L = 10⁻³ m³). The preferred notation in fuel chemistry and food science for volumetric energy content. Gasoline ≈ 34.2 MJ/L, diesel ≈ 35.8 MJ/L, ethanol ≈ 23.4 MJ/L, LPG ≈ 25.5 MJ/L. 1 kJ/L = 1 MJ/m³ = 10⁶ J/m³.
