How many liters are in 1 kilogram of diesel?
Answer
1 kilogram of diesel takes
1.2 L
The density of diesel is 0.834 kg/L (at 15 °C, summer grade; winter and arctic grades are lighter).
How the volume of 1 kilogram of diesel was worked out
volume = mass ÷ density
1 kg ÷ 0.834 kg/L
≈1.2 L
The density comes from GOST 32511-2013 (Russian fuel standard). At 15 °C, summer grade; winter and arctic grades are lighter.
The other way round: what a liter of this weighs
This page starts from a mass and answers in liters. The opposite question — how much a given volume weighs — is what the liters to kilograms calculator is for. Both read the same density table, so the two pages agree wherever the answer is volume times density.
For diesel the density is 0.834 kg/L, so 1 kilogram takes 1.2 liters — and one liter of it weighs 0.83 kg.

About "Kilograms to Liters" Calculator
This calculator converts kilograms to liters through the density of the substance: volume equals mass divided by density. The heavier the substance, the less room the same kilogram takes — one kilogram of honey is 0.7 liters, while one kilogram of liquefied gas is almost two. For example, it can help you find out how many liters are in 1 kilogram of diesel? (The answer is: 1.2). For bulk materials the answer is a range, and it is inverted against the weight page: the denser the packing, the smaller the volume of the same mass.
