I need to find the specific gravity of avgas at low temperatures. Any thoughts where such data might exist?

I think there may be a problem using published data as anything but typical since these fuels are not blended for the viscosity or density values.
The density, in particular, may vary significantly from one batch of fuel to another and is a reason for segregation of fuels by batch to ensure the correct density values are used when computing fuel loads.
Still, if you have a true density for the fuel batch then you can find the density at other temperatures using the Density 12Mb.xls spreadsheet at the same location

Do we really need two threads for this?
