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.
About International table kilocalorie per cubic metre
The international table kilocalorie per cubic metre (kcal(IT)/m³) equals exactly 4186.8 J/m³ (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). The slightly larger IT variant of the kilocalorie used in steam tables and international thermodynamics. 1 kcal(IT)/m³ = 4186.8 J/m³ ≈ 1.163 Wh/m³.
