Why is the temperature 15.5°C important for this conversion?

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature used for volume and density correction of petroleum products, ensuring consistent mass flow measurement.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this specific conversion applies only to gasoline at 15.5°C due to its unique density; other fluids require separate density-based conversions.

What happens if the temperature of gasoline differs from 15.5°C?

Variations from 15.5°C can change gasoline density, leading to inaccurate mass flow rates unless temperature corrections are applied.
