Otto fuel II is a monopropellant mixture of chiefly propylene glycol dinitrate (an ester of nitric acid and propylene glycol, and structurally similar to nitroglycerin) that is used to drive torpedoes and other weapon systems.

Otto Fuel II is a distinct-smelling, reddish-orange, oily liquid that the U.S. Navy uses as a fuel for torpedo and other weapons systems. It is a mixture of three synthetic substances. It contains mostly propylene glycol dinitrate, but it also contains dibutyl sebacate and 2-nitrodiphenylamine.

Otto Fuel II is a distinct-smelling, reddish-orange, oily liquid that the U.S. Navy uses as a fuel for torpedoes and other weapon systems. It is a mixture of three synthetic substances: propylene glycol dinitrate (the major component), 2­ nitrodiphenylamine, and dibutyl sebacate.

It contains descriptions and evaluations of studies, and presents levels of significant exposure for Otto Fuel II and its components based on toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations.

This film profiles Dr. Otto Reitlinger and the Otto Fuel II monopropellant he developed, which is used to drive torpedoes and other weapon systems. The film touches on the safety issues affiliated with the fuel and potential ill effects from exposure to the product.

Otto Fuel II is primarily released to water in waste streams from Navy facilities that produce it or are involved in torpedo rework operations. There is also a possibility that it could be spilled on soil during transfer operations.

Otto Fuel II is a liquid monopropellant (it does not require an atmosphere containing oxygen to support combustion) used by the U.S. Navy in MK-46 and MK-48 torpedoes (Rivera 1974) and other weapons systems (Air Force 1985a).

Named after its inventor, Otto Reitlinger (Forman 1988), Otto Fuel II consists of the nitrated ester explosive propellant propylene glycol dinitrate (PGDN), to which a desensitizer (dibutyl sebacate) and a stabilizer (2-nitrodiphenylamine) have been added (Kessick et al. 1978; Rivera 1974).
