Can any of the chemists here help to find a chart detailing Temperature vs Fuel Density.
My reasoning is this suppose the daytime texas summer temperature is 100F (37.78C) and add 17.3gal (65.49L) of Fuel. I could fuel up in the morning at a cooler 78F (21C).
The Fuel at this Temperature would be less dense than lets say an ambient air temperature of 11F
(12C) which we witnessed this morning in Delaware (cold!)
How many more pounds of fuel (or kg) am i getting if i fuel up right now assuming the same metering of 17.3gal. I know aircraft go by pounds of fuel.
I am trying to get more fuel for the money therefore if someone can find me a Fuel density chart or equation I would appreciate it. (Unless the gains are negligible)
Thanks-
