Volatile explosive fuels such as hydrazine cannot be exposed to oxygen or chemicals containing oxygen, or they may burn or explode.
Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen have to be kept extremely cold or they will revert to gaseous form with a tremendous pressure. The storage tanks and onboard fuel tanks are highly insulated to keep out heat.

How is fuel stored in rockets?
Fuel is typically stored in rockets either as liquid fuel in fuel tanks or as solid fuel in a casing. Liquid fuel rockets have separate tanks for liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen or kerosene, while solid fuel rockets have a solid propellant mixture in a casing. Both types of fuel storage systems are designed to be safe, efficient, and controlled during flight.

Why cant you use liquid hydrogen as fuel?
You can use liquid H2 as fuel. NASA has been doing it since the 1960's. However, the handling and storage of liquid hydrogen is challenging, and may not be within the capability of the average person to safely manage in a personal vehicle. Liquid hydrogen could be a fuel of choice for professionally managed public transit such as busses and trains.
Where is the storage of fuel in rockets?
Pratically the entire interior volume of the lower stages of rockets is fuel. This is why they have to be large: to hold enough fuel to accelerate the upper stages and carry them into orbit. The fuel may be liquid or solid. The space shuttle main engines used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, which was heated back to a gaseous state just before it burned in the rocket engines.

What liquid fuel is used as rocket fuel?
liquid Hydrogen + liquid Oxygen
Are the solid fuel rocket or the liquid fuel rocket faster?
liquid fuel
What are the ingredients in rocket fuel?
There are choice of solid liquid and gas fuel propellant. For space discovery rocket it is usually use liquefied hydrogen and oxygen as fuel. Missile and ICBM use solid propellant for long storage time. Choice is depend on the type and need.
Can you freeze liquid amoxicillin for storage?
No, liquid amoxicillin should not be frozen for storage as it can affect its effectiveness. It is best to store liquid amoxicillin at room temperature.
Is the fuel tank part of the fuel system?
Yes, it would be the storage device.Yes, it would be the storage device.
What physical state of fuel does a liquid fuel rocket use?
It uses fuel which is in the liquid state.
What fuel is used as rocket fuel?
liquid Hydrogen + liquid Oxygen
