Presumably the extra weight and complexity of a densitometer, as used on large aircraft, to permit automated fuel volume to mass calculations is deemed unnecessary in helicopters?

Provided one's fuel is of pretty consistent quality, then even a simple fuel temperature measurement should be sufficient to enable an automated volume to mass conversion?
