Re: German avgas stock

The difference between the Volume or Mass of fuel could be important if the actual amount was critical to an outcome, the difference between a Metric tonne (1000Kg) and cubic metre (1000L or about 800Kg). Of course, aircraft tank gauging in those days was often done by volume (Imp Gal, US Gal and Litres) because the tanks were mostly gauged directly by floats and sight glasses.
