An adult human has about 5 to 6 liters (1 to 2 gal) of blood, which is roughly 7 to 8 percent of total body weight. Infants and children have comparably lower volumes of blood, roughly proportionate to their smaller size. The volume of blood in an individual fluctuates. During dehydration, for example while running a marathon, blood volume decreases. Blood volume increases in circumstances such as pregnancy, when the mother’s blood needs to carry extra oxygen and nutrients to the baby.

Only about 3 free litres - say if you had a needle in your vein and it was being sucked out!
Thats not including Japan of course - if you watch a samurai movie and someone gets decapitated you'll see hundreds of gallons pumped out at high pressure...
