My bad for trusting Google top result.

395,700 kg fuel first stage. Burn time 162 seconds.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_9#:~:text=The%20rocket%20has%20two%20stages,rocket%2C%20carrying%20143%20into%20orbit.

25,000 gallons of kerosene they keep on board.

The 39,000 gallons of LOX in the Falcon 9 doesn't make itself.
