DLA Energy helps Fort Carson soldiers save $260,000 in potential fuel losses
Soldiers set up the portable fuel system icing inhibitor additive injection machine, June 22, 2023. The additive is mixed into aviation fuels to prevent the formation of ice in fuel lines and the injection machine, similar in size of a small generator, allows the additive to be blended into the fuel as it transits through the machine. Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division Sustainment Brigade and the Army Field Support Battalion-Carson worked with Defense Logistics Agency Energy to creatively recirculate over 60,000 gallons of off-specification fuel and save nearly $260,000 in potential fuel losses at two tactical vehicle refueling stations on Fort Carson, Colorado.
