The Saturn V rockets used several fuel tanks ifor the various stages:

First Stage (S-1C)
- used 1,305,000 liters (about 344,745 gallons) of LOX (Liquid Oxygen), and 770,000 liters (203,412 gallons) of RP-1 fuel (highly refined kerosene).

Second Stage (S-II)
- used a combined total of approximately 979,821 lbs of LOX and LH2 (Liquid Hydrogen) when fully loaded.

Third Stage (S-IVB) - 73,280 liters (19,359 U.S. gallons) of LOX, and 252,750 liters (66,770 U.S. gallons) of LH2.

Does Saturn v have solid fuel?

No, the Saturn V rocket did not use solid fuel. It used liquid propellants in its first stage (RP-1 and liquid oxygen) and upper stages (liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen).


What kind of fuel did Saturn V rocket use?

The Saturn V rocket used a combination of liquid oxygen and RP-1, a refined form of kerosene, as fuel. These propellants were used in the first stage of the rocket to provide the thrust needed for liftoff.

Do hydrogen and oxygen have to be in liquid form to make water?

No, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen would be rather explosive and in fact has been used for rocket fuel. Alternate answer: No, while water is comprised of Hydrogen and Oxygen, the two usually combine when in a gaseous form.


What kind of fuel used to propel a rocket in to space?

Rockets are propelled into space using liquid or solid propellants. Liquid propellants typically consist of liquid oxygen or hydrogen as the oxidizer and a fuel such as liquid hydrogen or kerosene. Solid propellants are a mixture of fuel and oxidizer that are combined into a solid form.


What fuel system did the Saturn V rocket use?

The Saturn V rocket used a liquid fuel system, with a combination of liquid oxygen (LOX) and RP-1 (a refined form of kerosene) as its propellants for the first stage. This combination provided the necessary thrust to lift the massive rocket off the ground and into space.
