Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

how many gallons are 35 pounds of peanut oil?

Most oils are around 7 lbs/gallon (water is 8.3) so around 5 gallons.
If you can find a precise density for peanut oil, you could improve the accuracy a little, but I'm sure it would be between 4.5-5.5, so 1 digit accuracy.

Peanut oil has a specific gravity of 0.92 at 60º F (Source:
http://www.csgnetwork.com/sgvisc.html), so peanut oil weighs 7.68 pounds a gallon at 60º F.
35 pounds / 7.68 pounds/gallon = 4.56 gallons.

The label on a 35 pound "Catania 100% Peanut oil" container shows 17.5 liters, which translates to 4.62301091 gallons
