This shows a demo of a fuel pump used to feed 1 cylinder of a top fuel dragster at idle and full throttle. That is amazing how much fuel those things use.

This is a lot of fuel. They must be darn close to hydraulicing.

Re: Top Fuel Dragster Fuel Pump Demo
Amazing. For those that have never been to see a TF/FC race in person, it's a must do. You wound not believe the power.
I love the feeling you get when they launch. It's like a full body massage.
We went to Ennis TX this year & watched all weekend. First time I had been since 2001. I got Rick Stewarts' autograph & spoke with Antron Brown. <-- Real nice guy.
I also found out I can't handle breathing nitro methane down in the pits like I could when I was younger.
I almost passed out.
