That depends entirely on the engine.

For instance, the primary delivery vehicle of the Apollo program was the Saturn V:.. The Saturn V was comprised of three stages. the first stage carried roughly 4.75 million pounds of RP-1 and liquid oxygen. Stage two was fueled with 920,000 pounds of liquid hydrogen and LOX. Stage three carried 233,000 pounds of LH/LOX.

As the example, the Saturn carried a spaceship, but hardly qualified as one, never quite leaving the atmosphere.
