Many years ago I read Stanley Lovell's book, "Of Spies and Stratagems", 
about his experiences as head of the OSS' research and development lab. 
They were tasked with finding a way to disable Axis vehicles, suitable for 
use by a spy or resistance members. The lab was unable to develop anything 
that could be added to fuel. What they eventually came up with was an 
abrasive that would trash an engine's bearings when added to the oil. It was 
delivered in a capsule, dropped through the oil filler.
