Hi Folks, someone mentioned 'bug juice' recently, and within the last
few weeks I have been told by veterans from the '50s and '60s that
picric acid and propylene oxide were used in that era as additives to
nitro fuels. Picric acid appears in the dictionary as some form of
explosive.
Anybody know more about the natural history of these additives? They
are never mentioned nowadays, may be banned for all I know. Ardun Bill
