The size of "barrels" of oil, 6.3 of them full of WATER would weigh almost exactly 1 metric tonne.

The actual oil gravity could be anything from 0.75 to 0.95, relative to water, so a tonne will be from 6.6 to 8.4 barrels depending on which field you get the oil from.

198.587 liters in a [petroleum] "barrel"
need to know how mass of that amount of oil
1000 kilograms in a tonne [or metric ton]
Then, convert the liters [or oil mass of those liters] to grams or vice versa.
