How much fuel (kerosene) does a 747 burn?

One of the top fuel facts from the internet.....
Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 11.2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced.

from the internet..... Let'd do some math here: 11.2 gallons per second. top fuel run is ~5 seconds and the associated idle time. You gonna tell me they hide a 55 gallon drum of nitro in that rail?

Then you can look at 55 gallons going into 900 Revs, yeah. 7.82 oz per revolution, or about an oz of fuel per cylinder per revolution? Show me the pump. Maybe it was 11 gallons per minute. Here is a 355cid chevy on 100 nitro. "SBC consumes 567.53 cfm @ 6500rpm which is 42.64 pounds of air and now at 1.7:1 ratio for nitromethane is 25.08 pounds of fuel PER MINUTE
