Fuel SG and Bowser Uplift vs Calc Uplift

Hi all. Need some help in Fuel Discrepancy check. ( still learning please bear with me)
The bowser uplift is calculated from the fuel receipt ( litres x s.gravity) to convert to kilos.
1) The station where u uplift the fuel tells u the SG. how do u know if the SG given is correct? and is there a typical range for the SG?

2) If the Bowser uplift Vs Calculated uplift ( Figures u get from the fuel gauges after uplift - before uplift) does not agree ( which is often the case) , what is the acceptable difference?

3) Referring to Question 2 above. So what happens if the difference is out of the acceptable range ( assuming u checked the sg & the uplift difference again and still yield the same result)?

Many thanks
