What are gallons?
Gallon is a unit of volume that is used in different countries and units. In today's world, most commonly used gallon units are the imperial gallon, the US gallon and the US dry gallon.
Typically when people refer to gallon, they mean US gallon. Imperial gallon and US dry gallon are more rarely used units.

What are pounds?
A pound is a unit of mass. It originated from the Roman unit libra, which means "scales or balance."
The United States and other countries have agreed upon a common definition for the pound, which is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms.
How many pounds is one gallon?
The weight of a gallon of liquid depends on the density of the liquid. The density of a liquid can also vary a bit depending on its temperature. In common use temperature changes doesn't make big differences, so temperature changes can usually be ignored.
Mathematical formula for converting pounds to gallons is:
Gallon size * liquid density = pounds
Is diesel heavier than gasoline?
Diesel fuel is the common name for the fuel oil that's used in vehicles that use a compression engine. Most freight and delivery trucks, buses, and boats have diesel engines. These engines are commonly used in factories, hospitals, and other facilities that require electricity.
Gasoline is a fuel made from various petroleum liquids. It is mainly used in vehicles.Almost all of the gasoline that's produced by petroleum refineries is unfinished gasoline. This fuel contains the basic requirements for gasoline that are suitable for use in spark-powered engines.
Since diesel has a longer carbon chain length than gasoline, it's heavier than gasoline.
Common densities:
Diesel = 0.85 kg/l
Gasoline/Petrol= 0.73 kg/l
How many gallons are in oceans?
The ocean is a continuous body of water that covers about 70% of Earth's surface. It's the world's largest freshwater body and its brackish state can be found in the oceans around us. The world's seas are divided into five major basins: the Atlantic, the Indian, the Mediterranean, and the Arctic. There are also smaller ocean regions such as the Bay of Bengal.
About 97 percent of Earth's water is found in the ocean. Almost all of Earth's water can be found in the ocean. About two percent is frozen in ice caps and glaciers and less than one percent of the water on Earth is fresh. The total volume of water in the world's oceans is about 352,670,000,000,000,000,000 gallons.
