Jet A1 specific gravity at high temperatures

I have a friend who operates a business jet with auxiliary fuel tanks. The aircraft was refuelled somewhere hot, but the aux tanks have no gauges, so they only know how many litres went in. They have no SG tables on the aircraft and need to work out how many kilos they have in the tanks before they next fly. The standard 0.8 obviously won't work owing to the high temperature. Can anybody direct me to some tables on the internet (I've done a search to no avail) with this info? Failing that, what is the SG of Jet A1 at 30/40/50 degrees C?

I'm off for 3 days so can't look it up on our aircraft until the 8th.

Bizarre request but any help much appreciated.
