Diesel Fuel Expansion vs Altitude
Diesel Fuel Expansion vs Altitude
(OP)
How does the volume of diesel fuel change with respect to a change in altutude?
My preliminary thought is that given it is a fluid, it is considered incompressible and therefore any expansion as the altitude rises above sea level to 10,000 ft would be very small if any at all.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

I think you mean it is not compressible because it is a liquid.
