What does cubic inch/second measure?

It measures the volume of fluid passing a point each second in cubic inches, representing volumetric flow rate.

Why is gasoline at 15.5°C used for the mass flow unit?

Because gasoline density varies with temperature, the 15.5°C reference ensures consistent and accurate mass flow measurements.

Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fuels without changes.
