Replace the nitric acid in the recipe for "CN3H7O3 Rocket Fuel" with a new fluid: "IRFNA", which stands for "Inhibited Red Fuming Nitric Acid". Nitric acid used for rocket fuel is generally highly concentrated "red fuming" nitric acid, rather than the less concentrated and safer mixture used where concentration can be lower, and is also inhibited with addition of small amounts of hydrogen fluoride so that the highly concentrated nitric acid does not damage the container.
The recipe I would suggest for IRFNA is as follows:
1650 Nitric Acid + 300 Nitrogen Dioxide + 50 Industrial Strength Hydrofluoric Acid ==> 1000 IRFNA
I'm not sure what the power consumption should be for it to remain well-balanced, but it should probably be made in a chemical plant with the same tiering as the associated rocket fuel. This formulation is roughly based on real IRFNA formulations for use as rocket fuel, and produces half as much volume as the total volume of fluid input because it is specifically representing a more concentrated form of nitric acid (similar to the way industrial strength hydrofluoric acid is made in the chemical plant). The amount of this new IRFNA fluid to include in the rocket fuel recipe should probably be the same amount as the quantity of regular nitric acid currently used.
Your Goal
The regular nitric acid feels like too simple a chemical for use in rocket fuel.
Your Vision
I think that this change would make the production of this tier of rocket fuel more interesting than it currently is, and would make it feel more like you're actually manufacturing a highly optimized fuel combination. Real rocket fuel production is difficult to get right and involves a lot of complex chemistry, so I think that it'd be better if this tier of rocket fuel no longer utilizes such a general-purpose and widely-used fluid as standard nitric acid for one of its two final components.
