What is the empty weight of a fuel blivet?

• A. 125 LBS
• B. 275 LBS
• C. 350 LBS
• D. 200 LBS

Answer: (B)

Empty weight is the mass of the fuel blivet itself without any fuel. A fuel blivet is a rugged container with a bladder, frame, pump, hoses, and fittings designed to carry fuel, and its weight reflects the hardware needed to support that setup. In standard Army references used for load planning, the empty weight of a fuel blivet is about 275 pounds. That means the container plus all fittings and the pallet or frame weigh roughly 275 pounds when it’s not holding any fuel. When you fill it, you add the weight of the fuel itself (fuel weight adds on top of that 275 pounds). The other numbers would be either too light or too heavy for the actual hardware mass of the container, so 275 pounds is the best match.
