What does one kiloliter of fuel oil equivalent represent?

It represents the energy released from burning 1,000 liters of a designated reference fuel oil, serving as a volumetric energy unit for comparison and reporting.

Why convert fuel oil equivalent to inch-pounds?

Converting to inch-pounds translates volumetric fuel energy into a mechanical energy or torque unit, aiding engineering calculations and energy comparisons.

Are inch-pounds suitable for large energy values?

Inch-pounds usually represent small torque or energy values, so converting large fuel energy volumes results in very large numbers that may be hard to interpret physically.
