I believe it's just over 7 lbs/gallon. It varies a little based on the blend, season, etc.

Thanks! I thought of the weight. I wouldn't think of it if I didn't have the FEL.

Thats fluid ounces NOT weight. BIG difference. Water is heavier, at about 8 pounds a gallon, that is why it sits in the bottom of the sediment bowls.

Mudcat, please remove that bug from your signature. I just tried to squash it (for real)! It was 85 in CT today, and I had my new windows open and was amazed a bug made it in through the new screens!
