It all depends on how big a jet we are talking about. As an example something like the smaller 747s have four engines of 50 thousand pounds thrust each. Takeoff lasts about 30 seconds from standstill. To generate a pound of thrust for an hour at sea level at low (or no) forward speed takes about 0.4 pounds of fuel.

So,

4 * 50000 * 30/3600 * 0.4 = 667 pounds of fuel

This is roughly 100 US gallons.

How many gallons of fuel will fill a jet?

Depends on the specific airliner. Answer 2 Yes, it depends on the size of the aircraft but to give you an idea, a 747 will carry 50,000-60,000 gallons. Pilots usually think of fuel in pounds, not gallons. 50,000 gallons is about 300,000 pounds. The fuel capacity varies even among different versions of the 747. This is about half of the maximum takeoff weight. with full passenger load.
