Why is the reference temperature 15.5°C used for gasoline?

15.5°C is a common standard reference temperature for liquid fuels to account for density changes due to temperature variations.

Can I use this converter for fuels other than gasoline?

This converter is specifically designed for gasoline at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other fuels without adjustments.

How does converting volumetric flow to mass flow benefit fuel measurement?

Mass flow measurements account for density variations and provide more accurate control, metering, and regulatory compliance.
