The engine in a ‘Fueller’ is a 500 cubic inch (8.2L), Supercharged V8, running on 90% Nitromethane and 10% Methanol, producing a gargantuan 11,000 hp. Every component of a Top Fuel engine is produced solely for use in this type of engine, with a full engine rebuild between every single run!

Here are some astonishing acceleration figures:

0-100mph- 0.8 seconds.

0-320mph (top speed)- 3.7 seconds.

G-Force- 5-6G is achieved at the launch, with a sustained 3-4G throughout the run. This quickly changes to minus 6-7G when the parachutes are deployed to slow this fire breathing monster down.

Top Fuel Dragsters are the fastest accelerating vehicles on the planet, and can use as much as 70L of fuel on a single pass down the strip!

The true force of these machines is incomprehensible, with over 3.5 on the Richter scale being measured when 2 Fuellers are racing side by side. Ear defenders are a must!
