What does one fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?

It represents the energy released by burning one kiloliter of a specified reference fuel oil, serving as a volumetric energy unit.

Why use kilocalorie (IT) for energy measurements?

Kilocalorie (IT) is used in steam tables, heat transfer calculations, and some traditional energy reporting contexts following the international-table calorie definition.

Can the conversion rate change based on fuel quality?

Yes, the actual energy content may vary slightly depending on fuel composition, so the provided rate is a standard approximation.
