Specific gravity mean ratio of the density of fluid into a standard fluid.

Gasoline is more volatile than diesel oil, Jet-A, or kerosene, not only because of the base constituents, but also because of additives. Volatility is often controlled by blending with butane, which boils at -0.5 °C.

Additives mean simple to say fule adding some chemical component. For example CH4.

@Ajay.

To find specific gravity, water is always the standard fluid.
