What is a pound-force inch?

It is a unit of energy equal to the work done by a one pound-force acting through a one-inch displacement, commonly used in US mechanical engineering contexts.

What does fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter measure?

It measures the amount of energy released by combusting one kiloliter of a reference fuel oil, serving as a volumetric energy measure for fuel comparisons.

Why are the converted values very small?

Because pound-force inch represents very small energy amounts and fuel oil equivalent per kiloliter is a large-scale energy unit, the converted results are correspondingly tiny.
