It depends on the type of aviation fuel that you are talking about though the SG (specific gravity) of AVCAT+FSII is around 0.8200 - 0.8400 Kg/L. So the SG of water is 1.000Kg/L therefore if water is 1kg/L AVCAT is 0.82Kg/l.
Another example ist he JET A1 with a density of 0.804 g/cm3.

A barrel of jet fuel typically weighs around 290-310 pounds when full.
There are different types of jet fuel. Standard ones are Jet A and Jet A-1. Jet A freezing point = -40 C Jet A-1 freezing point = -47 C Google it!
Airliner jet engines such as a Boeing 737 burns about 3,500 pounds of fuel per hour at cruising altitude and speed. Thats a little over 500 gallons per hour per engine.
Yes, temperature variation can affect the volume of jet fuel. Jet fuel expands in warmer temperatures and contracts in colder temperatures, leading to changes in volume. It is important for airlines to account for temperature variations when fueling aircraft to ensure accurate fuel quantity measurements.
Jet fuel typically burns at a maximum temperature of around 980°C (1800°F) when ignited under optimal conditions.
