Uh... being smaller or larger does not really change the laws of physics... if the gravity is too high, no fuel has enough energy density to escape the gravity of the celestial body.

If you need 150kg of fuel to get 100kg worth of matter to escape velocity it does not matter how much fuel you have. It will not ever be enough to leave.
