Fuel specific gravity

Do they tell you what the specific gravity is...?
My table here indicates that Jet A-1 should be .812 at 15ºC temperature.
Try to get exactly a litre, and see if it weighs 812 grams...
Other possibility, the fuel you get is warm.
If fuel is constantly stored in a truck parked in the sun... that is the reason.

Happy contrails
