Default OT fuel system anti-freeze

Density of gas changes with temp - they measure volume. Some adjust
twice a year, some once every 3 years.

Damn, wonder if weights and measures are checking for water content?

Seems like a chance for the same deal where you buy meat or poultry that is injected with
water.
