It looks cool so far!
How does a B-stoff tank truck differ from a regular airfield fuel truck, I wunda?

Those rockets take a lot of fuel from the look of things.

Rino this is what google says : A B-Stoff truck is a specialized type of fuel truck specifically designed to transport B-Stoff (75% alcohol/water mixture), which was one of the two primary fuel components for the V-2 rocket and other German WWII rocket-powered weapons. While a "fuel truck" is a general term for any vehicle carrying liquid fuel (like gasoline or diesel), a B-Stoff truck (often the Kfz. 385 on an Opel-Blitz 3t chassis) was a purpose-built, specialized vehicle required to handle specific, highly volatile, or reactive chemical components.

• B-Stoff Truck: Often had wooden cabins and required a towed trailer pump. It was part of a dangerous, highly specialized refueling system, often operating alongside T-Stoff (oxidizer) tankers, which had to be kept at least 800 meters apart due to the danger of spontaneous combustion.
• General Fuel Truck: Standard metal tank construction, designed for bulk transport and dispensing of conventional fuel.
