HISTORY From the start of the global petroleum industry in the early 1900s, both industry and the government have recognized the problem that temperature-induced changes in volume of fuel are present for inventory control. The petroleum products, like most other liquids, expand when heated and contract when cooled i.e. the amount of fuel in the inventories of retailer changes with the weather. Following a study of the issue conducted by the American Petroleum Institute from 1912 to 1917, the United
