Question

A tanker is loaded with 12,000 barrels of #2 fuel oil. The temperature of the product is 88&deg;F. API gravity is 39&deg;. The volume correction factor (VCF) is .0005. The net amount of cargo in gallons, loaded is _________.

Accepted Answer

Option A: 496,944. Net loaded volume is $11,832$ barrels as calculated via standard petroleum temperature correction. Converting barrels to gallons ($11,832 	imes 42$) results in $496,944$ net gallons, aligning with standard oil measurement practices and official cargo documentation requirements.
