I would say the dimensional checking is underrated. It must be

Oil output internal : m^3/sec
Oil output printed:  kbarrels/day

"barrel" is not an SI unit.  And when speaking about oil there isn't
even a simple conversion.

   42 US gallons  ?  34.9723 imp gal  ?  158.9873 L

[In case those marks don't render, they are meant to be the
double-tilda sign meaning "approximately equal".]

Do you mean:

   42 US gallons  ≈  34.9723 imp gal  ≈  158.9873 l

The post as I received it was encoded as 7-bit us-ascii, so definitely
no double-tilde. This post was encoded as utf-8.
