Default Spacex RP-1 Question...

In reading Spacex's on line documents/updates

I read that the RP-1 and LOX tanks share a common bulkhead.

How do you keep the RP1 from turning to wax at LOX temperatures?

Even if this bulkhead is insulated, how do you keep the common Al outer tank wall from

chilling the RP1 to the point of jelly?

Does anyone have any updates on their testing?


Paul
