Vettastic, I believe he's from Canada. He need the info for the G-Tech to input how much his vehicle weighs. I believe it only takes English and not Imperial units.

Guys,
Water has a specific gravity of 1.00000 and one litre of water weighs one kilogram exactly. Petrol ( or gasoline ) has a specific gravity of about 0.7, therefore one litre of petrol will weigh about 700 grams, or 0.7 kilograms. Multiply that by the number of litres your tank holds (about 60 l in my 1974) and you have the weight of a tankful of fuel. About 42 kilograms. Multiply that by 2.2 if you want pounds.

Reminds me of the question: "What's a Henway?"
ANS> About two pounds....

Yep. I missed the fact it was an OOOOLLLLDDD thread. I've asked the moderators why the Forum can't be programmed to "flag" us when we want to respond to an old thread, but so far, nada....
