1583. A tanker is loaded with 12,000 barrels of #2 fuel oil. The temperature of the product is 88? F. API gravity is 39?. The volume correction factor (VCF) is .0005. The net amount of cargo in barrels, loaded is __________.

The net cargo volume at 60F is calculated by correcting the observed volume for temperature differences. The temperature difference is 28F, and the volume correction factor is 0.0005 per F, resulting in a corrected volume of 11,832 barrels.
