Type a value in BTU/gal to get it in MJ/L instantly.
0.01003MJ/L
Nothing on our list is smaller: hydrogen gas at room pressure is 1.28× denser. A 50-liter tank of it would hold about 0.1394 kWh.
Convert the other way: MJ/L to BTU/gal
What it means
How much fits in a liter?
Fuels use the higher heating value; batteries are usable electrical energy per liter of cell. Gases are at atmospheric pressure unless stated.
The math
How to convert BTU/gal to MJ/L
To convert BTU per US gallon to megajoules per liter, multiply by 0.000278716.
Example: 36 BTU/gal × 0.000278716 = 0.0100338 MJ/L.
In the other direction, 1 MJ/L = 3,587.88 BTU/gal.
