"The airplane is equipped with two General Electric CF34-8C5 high bypass ratio turbofan engines which have a normal take-off thrust rating of 13,600 pounds. The engines are controlled by a full authority digital engine control system (FADEC). In the event of an engine failure during takeoff, an automatic power reserve (APR) function of the FADEC, will increase the thrust on the remaining engine to 14,510 pounds."

What Jetjock said...I do believe you are quoting the fuel capacity which is just shy of 20K but there is no way the engines are putting out that much power.
