Hydrazine was uses by the Germans in WWII to fuel their rockets. The old films 
I have seen indicate that it was pretty dangerous to handle.

Subject: Fuel Class

Interesting thread, now if I can just turn it around a
little. Rather than
octane what can be mixed with gasoline to give a HP boost? I
want to try
something else other than N2O in a fuel class.
What will propylene oxide do?
What about nitro propane?
Nitromethane through a carb?
What else is there?
