Why is the reference temperature of 15.5°C important in this conversion?

The reference temperature of 15.5°C is used because gasoline density varies with temperature, and specifying this temperature ensures the mass flow rate accounts for these variations accurately.

Can I use this converter for liquids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specifically designed for gasoline at 15.5°C. Using it for other fluids may lead to inaccurate results due to differing physical properties.

What if the gasoline temperature differs from 15.5°C?

If gasoline temperature varies from 15.5°C, additional corrections are needed since this tool assumes gasoline at the reference temperature for accurate mass flow conversion.
