Raise your useful load without an STC...

Matt, According to Wikipedia: "Avgas has a density of 6.02 lb/US gallon at 15 °C". Not sure how 'correct' this is. I've seen several different values, but most are less than 6.00 lbs/gal. According to this site, the specific gravity of ConocoPhillips 100LL is 0.7. http://www.conocophillips.co.uk/NR/r...D7/0/msds6.pdf According to this site, the density of water at 15.5C is 8.33727 lbs/gal. http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/se...r-density.html Multiplying that by 0.7 yields: 5.836 lb/gal for the 100LL. I can't vouch for the calculator site, but I trust the ConocoPhillips MSDS much more than anything on Wikipedia, which is about the least reliable source on the internet in my experience. Matt
