... but, be wary .... the SG depends on a variety of things including crude source and fuel mass temperature.

For planning purposes I would expect 0.80 to be closer to the mark.

For routine use, either measure a sample with an hydrometer or check with the fuel supplier as they pay by weight so they measure the SG accurately at each delivery.
