The issue of temperature correction of fuels has been the subject of investigations on numerous occasions in the past, including a 12 month study undertaken by the CSIRO.
An issues paper prepared in 1996 by AIP following completion of the CSIRO study is available for download by following the link below. The full CSIRO study is available on request from AIP.
On the basis of the CSIRO study, Federal and State Consumer Affairs Ministers decided in 1996 that the costs, both capital and ongoing, of temperature correction outweighed any potential benefits.

All the oil companies have in place procedures for addressing claims of fuel losses by service station operators.
