On page 93 of my 6/78 edition under 'Weights of Liquids', gasoline is given a sp gr of 0.72 and a specific weight (lbs/gal) of 5.87. I have used this for years and am still getting off the ground. There are various weights given for jet fuel depending on the grade. Usefull ones are JP-4 at 6.55 and JP-5 at 6.82. Temperature is given only for the JP-5 at 15*C. Who has the latest from Pratt?
