Meaning of two German Terms used in 1944/45

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone can provide the meaning of the following two terms, used by the OKW:

"Otto-Flugzeuge" and "Otto-Betriebsstoff", i.e. specifically the meaning of "Otto" within this context.

I presume that "Otto" refers to a fuel type or group, and as Nick Beale has indicated, it often refers to motor fuel in ULTRA.

Is "Otto" a generic term for petroleum?

Regards

Rod
