Apparently modern US production ratios for ethyl vs isopropyl alcohols are roughly 100:1.

Expect they would have been the same during the war era, hence engineering torpedos to run on a more widely available fuel.

It’s currently that way because of ethanol in fuel correct? It seems unlikely it would have been that way during WW2?
