I know for airplanes and the like - especially fighter planes, they get loaded with thousands of pounds of fuel, but that they're also different in consistency in a sense.

Not sure of the difference in weights, but a gallon of plain water is something like 8.3 pounds. Only reason I know that is from my days backpacking in New Mexico. Five gallons doesn't sound like a lot until you have to carry it two miles!
