Pressuring kerosene with GH2, will not make acetylene, ethylene or any
unsaturated hydrocarbon. The solubility of gaseous H2 in kerosene is directly
proportional to its pressure, it also is expected to increase as the
temperature is reduced.

Subject: [AR] GH2 pressurization
Any unobvious (wierd) problems in pressurizing kerosene with GH2 from an
ambient temp cylinder to 35 bar?
Like GH2 dissolving into the kerosene (the highly refined flavor)?
Or GH2 morphing into something like acetylene during tank pressurization?
Application is in a blowdown pressure fed liquid rocket.
Lots of advantages to it
