Saturn V used RP-1 basically kerosene and LOX. The problem with liquid hydrogens is that it is really really cold and very dangerous to test. For LOX you can always test with LN2 which is at a similar temperature and is non-explosive.

Saturn V used RP-1 basically kerosene and LOX for the first stage only. Stages 2 and 3 used LH2/LOX. Service module used a hydrazine/nitrogen tetroxide engine.
