Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C?

Gasoline density at 15.5°C provides a standard reference temperature to account for temperature-dependent density variations for accurate mass flow calculations.

What affects the accuracy of the conversion?

Variations in gasoline temperature or composition away from 15.5°C can change density and thus affect the mass flow results.
