Double-check input values to minimize errors caused by measurement sensitivity
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes ideal conditions and consistent unit definitions
-
Real-world variables like temperature, pressure, and fuel composition affect volumetric energy density
-
Small measurement errors can cause significant discrepancies due to the reciprocal nature of units
-
This tool does not account for variations in fuel quality or specific chemical properties
