The Type S scout / courier from Traveller uses 20 dTon of liquid hydrogen in the course of a 2 parsec jump.
My mind had always envisioned giant pipes and bolted flanges to move all that liquid.
It might still need that, depending on how fast it uses the hydrogen, but if it's used up over the entire two weeks instead all at once, a mere 1/2" line will suffice to feed the drive.
I cannot remember if a canon answer is given.
