Kerosene lamps are still extensively used in areas without electrical lighting ; the cost and dangers of combustion lighting are a continuing concern in many countries.

Since the density of the LOX ( liquid oxygen ) was higher than that of the Kerosene, extra pressure was available with the LOX, and it was to be used to cool the engine's throat and other components.
