First Stage Engines, Saturn V
The Saturn V first stage was powered by 5 awesome Rocketdyne F-1 engines. Each of these motors drank a combined total of 40,000 gallons of kerosene and liquid oxygen every minute, That's a flow rate for all 5 equivalent to draining your average residential swmming pool in about 6 seconds.
