It used close to 2 tons (weight) of fuel taxiing to the take off point. At low speeds its engines were not fuel efficient at all, but at cruising altitude they were then at their peak performance and fuel economy.

The fuel pump on a 2000 Chrysler Concorde is inside the fuel tank.
The Concorde was capable of carrying a maximum of 210,940 pounds of fuel.
The fuel filter on a 2004 Chrysler Concorde is part of the pump module in the fuel tank.
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.
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.
