- T-Stoff
:"For the T-stoff used as a tear gas in World War I, see
xylyl bromide .T-Stoff was the oxidizer part of a
bipropellant rocket fuel combination used inGermany during World War 2. It is a stabilizedhigh test peroxide . One of its uses was to be combined withC-Stoff (methanol -hydrazine mixture) in theMesserschmitt Me 163 andMesserschmitt Me 263 for fuel, at a ratio of three partsC-Stoff to one part T-stoff. Because the two substances were so visibly similar, a complex testing system was developed to make sure that each fuel was put into the correct tanks of theMesserschmitt Me 163 , as an improper loading would cause the aircraft to explode.*
