How would you know its calibrated correctly? I have been in the fuel trailer when the tech guy comes in there "setting" the meter. Is this an every race day or weekend occurance? If the fuel companies' specs are the same every time, why recal the meter?

I believe the cyclohexene is used for calibration.......from what I read.

And don`t forget that you would also need the specs for the fuel being tested, as well as temperature conversion chart that shows the different readings for a given temp.
