Why is the 15.5°C reference temperature important?

The 15.5°C reference ensures gasoline density is standardized, allowing consistent mass flow comparisons and accurate conversions.

Can I use this converter for gasoline at other temperatures?

This converter specifically assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; conversions at other temperatures require additional temperature correction steps.

What does converting from pound/day to kilogram/minute achieve?

It changes the time unit from daily to per minute while maintaining consistent mass flow rates at the standardized temperature, useful for various operational reports and billing.
