Why is gasoline temperature standardized at 15.5°C for this conversion?

Standardizing gasoline to 15.5°C accounts for temperature-dependent density changes, ensuring consistent and comparable mass flow measurements.

Can this converter be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this tool specifically converts cubic yard/minute to pound/day for gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fuels.

What factors could affect the accuracy of this conversion?

Inaccurate density data, flow measurement errors, or gasoline composition changes away from the 15.5°C standard can impact results.
