Different models of 747 use different engines from different companies with slightly different fuel consumption rates.
A ballpark-accurate figure would be 400 gallons per engine, at idle speed.
So with 4 engines on each aircraft, that's 1,600 gallons burned per hour just for sitting there at idle speed, not even taxi speed.
