1 gallon equals 3785.411784 mL.
50 gallons equals about 189271 mL (~189.3 Liters).
If 1 mL of glycerin has a mass of 1.258 grams, then 189271 mL of glycerin would have a mass of about 238 kg (~524 pounds).
"Weight" is the force exerted on an object dur to gravity,
weight = mass * gravitational acceleration
On the surface of Earth, the gravitational acceleration is roughtly a constant figure with a magnitude of about 9.81 m/s^2.
Thus, we know the mass of the glycerin and we know the gravitational acceleration, so the "Weight" of the glycerin is,
W = 238 kg * 9.81 m/s^2
Weight = 2334.8 Newtons
Weight and mass are not the same thing.

1.258 * weight of 50 gal of water
1 gal of H20 ~=8 lbs
1.258*400lbs

62.4 lb/ft^3 *1.258=78.5 lb/ft^3
50 gallons=6.68ft^3 x 78.5 lb/ft^3 about
524.4 lbs.
