Temperature affects the density and volume of LPG, which can lead to inaccurate fueling if not adjusted. Temperature compensation systems automatically correct for these variations by converting measurements to a standard temperature reference.
Without compensation, customers might receive less fuel than they pay for during cold conditions, or the station might lose revenue during heat. The system ensures fair and transparent transactions year-round.
Temperature compensation is now a regulatory requirement in most countries and a standard feature in modern dispensers.
