Soybean oil has a very high energy content. If you can make a rocket motor with salami, I’m sure soybean oil could work, too.

TDI could be Toluene Diisocyanate which is another chemical used in making coatings. We buy both soybean oil and TDI in our coating business. Never heard of the our kind of TDI being used as a rocket fuel, although it is dangerous, especially if it gets near water.

It’s also possible that this was a mismarked shipment from or to a coating resin guy.

Soy bean squeezin's are good for a lot of things, just it's not fit to be eaten by humans.

Had to use a honey bucket the other day, and one of the graffiti items inside it made me laugh, it said: “Palestenian space capsule trainer”.

I forgot about that (Salami). Saw some show where a guy used driveway tar sealer as fuel for a rocket motor on a bicycle.

Hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons, I guess.

Sure. Why not? Diesel = JET-A = JP-8 = Kerosene = RP-1 ... the differences among these fuels are additives and conditioners. Most diesel engines run just fine on "biodiesel", essentially kerosene equivalent derived from plant matter.

They should have said it was negative, planted a nice big explosive in the shipment and when it got to its destination, boom!

Any day the muzzies have an "industrial accident" is a good day.
