Top Fuel Dragster Fuel Flow Demo

Demonstration of the amount of fuel flowing into 1 of the 8 cylinders of a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car at the NHRA Museum in Pomona California.

"This exhibit built by Waterman Racing Products demonstrates the enormous volume of Nitromethane racing fuel that is pumped into just one cylinder of the eight cylinder engine in an NHRA Top Fuel dragster or Funny Car.

Although a typical Top Fuel or Funny Car drag race lasts just four seconds, the fuel pump demonstrated here has the capacity to pump an unbelievable 64 gallons per minute. The latest model Waterman pumps used today move even more fuel than this one!

If your family car gets 22 miles per gallon, how far can you go on the 64 gallons that the pump moves in just one minute?"

Lol. Thought it was a lot at first, then DAMN😳

At least 3 employees from the EPA, died from a heart attack after watching this video

The ratio of nitromethane to air is so high, that just before ignition the nitro becomes so compressed and homogenous that for a split second it becomes a freaking *solid.*

FUEL, GIMME FIRE, GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE!!!!🔥🔥🔥

Basically a nitromethane toilet flushing.
So that's what, 80 gallons per mile?

My wife and I went to the Winter Nationals in Pomona in 2004. I wore earplugs. She thought I was being silly.... She discovered that it was like listening to a 5 second gunshot. In this video even the pump sound hurt my ears and I had to turn it down.

Amazing! I knew they went through a LOT of fuel during a run, but seeing it in real time is insane. Also, very cool to have the Beach Boys singing "Little Deuce Coupe" in the background!

Just one of the 8 cylinders, I can’t imagine all 8 of them “firing on all cylinders”

This is in Pomona California. Awesome museum.

How they get half decent stoichiometric combustion in the fuel / air ratio needed, just like mama bear (not too hot, destroys motor components & not too cold, doesn’t get the max out of the run) is mind boggling.

[mvenus]

So much fuel is released. It also requires super large combustion in the engine🔥

[racer]

Wen ur in the driver's
Its worth every drop!🇺🇲

[cat_with_sunglass]

The fact that this much goes into just one cylinder is even crazy

[chrismoltisanti]

I remember seeing this display for the first time. Jaw hit the floor and took me about s year and a half to lift it back up.

[hankramos]

My pos hoopty clunker burns fuel that fast too 👍🏾

[khyr]

Anyone realize how old this display is??. It looks like It has been restored once again.

[vaughnmcmillan]

1.3 gallons per second when the hammer's down!

[Lockedinstreetracing]

Probably a aeromotive terminator or a waterman either way that’s a lot of fuel I thought mine used a lot of fuel holy hell.

[Martin]

dam that's like 20 gallons a mile

[matthewduby]

they probably use that much because half of it come out of the exhaust pipes. Have you ever seen the flames when they launch
