Abstract
A method for accurately determining a density of a fuel includes obtaining dielectric constant versus density characteristics of the fuel at a first location and measuring a dielectric constant of the fuel at a second location. The environmental conditions at the second location differ from environmental conditions at the first location. Density of the fuel at the second location is inferred using the dielectric constant of the fuel at the second location and the dielectric constant versus density characteristics of the fuel at the first location.
