how many litres are there in 1 ton

[sddsddean]

1000 litres of distilled water at STP = 1 tonne = 1000kg

If you mean 'ton' which is 2240 lbs, then its roughly 1016 litres

1000

[wildwood]

1 UK ton = 984 litres
1 US ton = 1102 litres
1 tonne = 1000 litres

These are close conversion of tap water at about 10 degrees C.
Colder means heavier and warmer equals lighter water per volume.
