US units

At SFO, the fueling units at the International Terminal will pump anywhere from 600 to 900 gallons/minute through a 4 inch hose at a maximum nozzle pressure of 50 psi into a 777. Typically, you will average about 750 with all the valves open, and taper off to about 300 as the valves close. YMMV
