(6) In the case of sale by weight, the net weight of the delivery, together with any weighing scale readings from which the net weight is computed, expressed in terms of tons or pounds avoirdupois.

(c) The provisions of subsection (b) of this section do not apply to deliveries of liquid fuel made on the premises of the vendor if the vendor is supplying the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, motorized equipment, aircraft, or watercraft. The requirement of subsection (b)(4) of this section does not apply when the product is liquified petroleum gas, which is defined for the purpose of this subsection as a petroleum product composed predominately of propane, propylene, butane, isobutane, butylenes, or mixtures of those products, if the delivery ticket, written statement, or invoice states that the price list is available on request.
