All fuel is bought as weight, that is how an aircraft works. The fact that
you pay for volume is a book keeper's issue.

I have never seen anyone buy avgas by weight for small GA aircraft like the
Cessna 172.

And I'll back Dan up for the Military (Canadian Mil at least)
It's never bought fuel by the pound either (and I bought a lot
too, pretty well all over the world, it was always ordered and
billed in either Imperial Gallons or US Gallons)

Civilian light aviation in the UK buys fuel by volume, not weight. You
pay for the volume pumped, not the weight change: it's up to you to keep
track of the weight. (Our aircraft could go over MGTOW with a full tank
and two burly occupants: luckily I and my instructor were both wiry
types)
