How to destroy Fuel & Ammo reserves in Helldivers 2
If you're on an Operation to liberate a planet controlled by the deadly Automatons in Helldivers 2, you may get tasked with blowing up Fuel and Ammo reserves. Many of the game's various objectives involve stuff exploding, but it's not explained what you need to do to destroy enemy reserves.
Sadly, the best Stratagems or weapons don't help here, but you are given a simple way to blow up Fuel and Ammo depots with ease. Read on below to find out how.
Destroying Fuel & Ammo reserves
To achieve your goal of blowing up Fuel and Ammo reserves, you'll need to call in the Hellbomb Stratagem, which can only be used contextually as part of these objectives. You can find it pictured below.

Ensure you throw it into the middle of the area that needs to be destroyed, as if it's on the outside, the blast may be blocked by the walls surrounding the Automaton base. You should try to clear the base first, but these are usually only manned by a few enemies at a time.
After the Hellbomb has landed, you'll need to interact with it and complete a button combo to activate it.
Once it's activated and you hear the wind-up noise, I recommend sprinting in the opposite direction very quickly, as my friends and I have learned the hard way that Hellbombs have large a radius (that doesn't discriminate in who they turn into paste).

Typically, these missions require you to blow up two or three of these bases across the map, so just rinse and repeat this method to complete your objectives and extract in time.
