Imperial Japanese Navy fuel While other navies used highly refined " burner oil " , in the last stages of World War II the Imperial Japanese Navy was directly using high quality crude oil obtained from the captured East Indian colonial possessions of the Netherlands and France . While quite functional as a boiler fuel , this crude carried a hazard ; as the lighter fractions had not been distilled out they formed highly flammable vapors within the warships ' fuel tanks . This would often lead to a tank compartment explosion during battle should a shell penetrate the compartment or venting lines . Previously at Pacific War , since 30s period , Navy along Japanese Government , acquired German state manufacture license for installing the shale plant in Fushun , Manchukuo was perhaps capable of annual production of 200 , 000 tons of shale oil .

Tilt - rod fuze A tilt - rod fuze is a device used to trigger anti - vehicle landmine s . Typically it consists of a vertical pole , normally around a meter high , which is connected to the top of a landmine . When the track or main body of a vehicle passes over the mine , the rod is tilted , releasing a spring - loaded striker which triggers a pyrotechnic delay of approximately half a second , followed by detonation of the main explosive charge . The small time delay allows the vehicle to continue over the mine before detonating , exposing more of it to the blast . A tilt - rod fuze has a number of advantages over pressure fuzes - it acts across the entire width of a vehicle , rather than just its tracks or tires . For this reason , a mine fitted with a tilt - rod is referred to as a " full width attack " mine . Additionally , tilt rod fuze s tend to be resistant to blast overpressure clearing methods , which can trigger most pressure fuzes . The main disadvantage is the visible rod mechanism , which may be negated by laying the mine in undergrowth . In any case , minefields containing anti - tank mines with tilt rods may also include other designs of mine which are entirely buried ( e . g . the M19 anti - tank mine ) plus various antipersonnel mine s intended to hinder people removing mines .
