Frequent "clearing the nozzles" would help.

...."Wetting" is the term you're looking for. This wound up being a
last-minute issue that, IIRC, got John Aaron in a bit of hot water
with George Low prior to Apollo 8, when it was discovered that there
could be problems if you tried to wet both of the redundant feed lines
for the SPS at the same time under certain conditions. The trick was
to "wet" them separately, and while it could be done not only had the
procedures not been tested in the sims, there weren't any mission
rules for it.
