What does ounce/second measure in this context?

Ounce per second measures a flow rate indicating how many ounces flow through a point each second; it can refer to mass or volume depending on context.

Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C?

15.5°C is a standard temperature reference to account for density variations in liquid fuels, ensuring consistent mass flow measurement.

Can I use this conversion for other fuels or temperatures?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and does not account for density differences of other fuels or temperatures.
