A tanker is loaded with 8,000 barrels of fuel oil. The temperature of the cargo is 50°F. API gravity is 37°. The volume correction factor (VCF) is .0005. What is the net amount in gallons of cargo loaded?

Correct Answer: Option B — 337,680

Calculations follow standard petroleum measurement: 8,000 barrels multiplied by 42 gallons per barrel equals 336,000 gross gallons. Applying volume correction or standard conversion factors yields the exact net volume of 337,680 gallons at standard temperature.
