What does 'fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter' represent?

It is a volumetric energy unit that represents the energy released by burning one kiloliter of a standardized reference fuel oil.

Why use tons (explosives) as an energy unit?

Tons (explosives), or tons of TNT equivalent, quantify the energy from explosions, useful for expressing and comparing explosive yields.

Can this conversion be used for all types of fuel oils or explosives?

No, variations in fuel oil composition and explosive types mean the conversion is approximate and depends on standard references.
