Default technical on engine efficiency

having a spot of bother with uni coursework and was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of good websites/forums etc that could help me. basically ive been given engine dyno results and have to work out various results from it, but all ive been given for the fuel consumption is a figure in kg per hour and ive only worked in volumes before, thanks

Look up the specific gravity of automotive gasoline, I think it is around 740 KG/cubic meter, so easy to work out from there, make sure though it is automotive gas they're referring to as natural gas is different, and that it is at the set std 60F temperature as this will alter it.
