Offutt reestablishes fuel system lost in flood, increases capability

For the first time since it was damaged in the March 2019 flood, the Type III Underground Fuel System was used operationally here June 17, 2020 as part of a demonstration of the reestablished capability. The Type III Underground Fuel System allows personnel to refuel aircraft via an underground constant pressure system that takes it directly from fuel tanks located just south of the flightline. While the system was down, the 55th LRS Fuels Flight was required to use a R-11 refueling truck to fuel aircraft. Using the R-11 refueler has a limited tank capacity and slower fueling speed and requires more fuels Airmen to operate it.
