The '''LV-1 Liquid Fuel Engine''' is used to provide thrust to a rocket, and is currently the weakest liquid fueled engine available. It has a relatively poor impulse compared to other liquid fueled engines but is useful on small satellites due to its size. | The '''LV-1 Liquid Fuel Engine''' is used to provide thrust to a rocket, and is currently the weakest liquid fueled engine available.

The LV-1 Liquid Fuel Engine is used to provide thrust to a rocket, and is currently the weakest liquid fueled engine available. It has a relatively poor impulse compared to other liquid fueled engines but is useful on small satellites due to its size.
No fuel bar appears next to LV-1 engines when they are active, so the general resource widget is the best way to see how much fuel is left.
