German term or phrase: Schallgeschwindigkeit des Kraftstoffs
The document refers throughout to the ; e.g. "Allgemein lassen sich Eigenschaften des Kraftstoffs, wie bspw. eine Eigenfrequenz oder eine Schallgeschwindigkeit des Kraftstoffs, einfach und zuverlässig ermitteln."
Is this the speed at which sound travels in the fuel?

English translation:speed at which sounds travels in fuel
Explanation:
Yes, it has to be. Leaving Einstein aside, it doesn't matter what travels at the speed of sound. This speed will always be the same. However, the speed of sound depends on the density and pressure of the fluid or gas. (If memory serves correctly) Hence, the German term is verboten inaccurate.
