Since 4 liters = 1 gallon
then, 240,000 * 42 * 4 liters were spilled.

Google gives me 38 156 950.9 liters. Multiply 240,000 barrels by 42 gallons per barrel. Since a gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches, multiply this result by 231. Since an inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, multiply this by 2.54^3. Since a liter is exactly 1000 cubic centimeters, divide the result by 1000. That is how you get the ~38 million liters.

NONE... because if they don't notify the Coast Guard and get a spill team there to clean it up, they can get some really healthy fines... for that spill, $1 Million would just be a place to start.

Zero liters were spilled, only barrels were spilled.

thats not the question to ask, the correct question is "if 240,000 barrels were spilled on the ground, how long would it take greenpeace to clean it up.

Of course, another way to answer this would be to say NO liters were spilled... only gallons.

3.785 liters = 1 gallon
42 gallons/barrel x 3.785 liters/gal = 158.97 liters /barrel
240,000 barrels x 158.97 liters/barrel = 38,152, 800 liters

1 gallon (US) = 3.7854 liters.
Therefore, 240,000 x 42 x 3.7854 = 38156832, rounded off
