The three types of rocket fuels are liquid rocket fuel, solid rocket fuel, and hybrid rocket fuel. Liquid rocket fuel consists of liquid components that are combined and ignited to produce thrust. Solid rocket fuel is a mixture of solid components that burns to produce thrust. Hybrid rocket fuel combines elements of both liquid and solid rocket fuels.
Homer used moonshine as the fuel for his rocket.
How much fuel will be needed in a rocket will depend on the size of the rocket and where it is going. A rocket that will be traveling into space burns a lot of fuel and will need enough to keep it in orbit for teh desired time.
A rocket's fuel is typically located in large tanks situated within the rocket's body. The fuel is stored separately from the rocket's engines and is used as propellant for thrust during launch and flight.
The fuel consumption of a rocket launch can vary, but as a rough estimate, a single rocket launch uses several hundred thousand gallons of fuel.
