Default Fuel temps

Tanner there is something on that subject earlier in the thread. Talks about cooling the throttle blades and icing due to moisture. I would be more concerned about cooling the fuel and keeping it a constant temp around 15* Celsius. The gas companies up here sell the gas per litre compensated to that temperature. They blow air into the pumps (so I'm told)to compensate for contraction in the cold temps. All done by computer and air compressor below 15* Celsius. Just as water expands below 14* F and also expands above 39* F I suspect gasoline would behave somewhat similar or the gas companies wouldn't have lobbied the gov't to make all pumps the same. The disclaimer on the pump says "volume corrected to 15* Celsius." Ed
