fuel conversions

Hello, I am seeing conflicting conversion factors for fire water.

I believe that Avgas is
1 USG = 6.0lbs
1 L = 1.58lbs
I L = 0.72 kg
1 USG = 2.72 kg

What about for JetA1 ???

1 L = 1.76lbs
I L = 0.8 kg

Pardon me, but could someone please explain what "avgas" is? Is it something you put in flying ("av") cars ("gas", I assume, short for gazzoline)?.

This has got to be a windup.

OK Bloggsie me old cock, I'll bite.
AVGAS = Aviation Gasoline.

At the risk of letting my sarcasm out of it's cage for a run I'll tell you that:
AV TUR is not turpentine for cleaning paint brushes used to paint aeroplanes.

Don't forget to add the temperature factor to get your SG

Whats SG?.....

Specific Gravity.

If you don't, your planned weight may be heavier/lighter than you thought.
