What is a pound-force foot (lbf*ft)?

It is an imperial unit of energy representing the work done when a one pound-force moves over a distance of one foot in the direction of the force.

Why convert pound-force foot to fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US)?

This conversion allows mechanical energy values to be expressed in terms of fuel oil energy content, useful for energy accounting and comparing various energy sources.

Can I use this conversion for torque values directly?

Care should be taken because pound-force foot often represents torque, which is physically different from energy, so verify the quantity before converting.
