I don't know the fuel flow figures but from the type certificate data the max fuel load was 210,000 lbs and the max take off weight was 410,000 lbs. More than half its weight at take off was fuel.

The figure of 18 tons per hour or about 40,000 lbs per hour in the cruise would be about right as the max duration of flight was about 4 hours.
