1 gallon fuel cell enough?

I tried posting this in the N2O tech section with no response so I thought I'd try this forum since I usually get a reply when I post stuff here.... perhaps the math involved is too much for the n2o tech guys? I dunno... lol.

If I have a small block chevy motor with an NOS Fogger kit jetted to 250hp with a 15lb bottle, and a seperate fuel system to feed the Fuel Solenoid - would 1 gallon fuel cell be enough for that 15lb bottle of nitrous? Perhaps someone knows how much fuel goes through the solenoid for every lb of nitrous with a 250 shot? All the NOS instructions say is 2.7lb/10 seconds of nitrous, but nothin about fuel consumption.

depending on how you jet it, it will surely be plenty for a couple passes. I used to have a 1 gal cell, it lasted what seemed like forever on a 200 shot

I've seen some folks mount it in the stock battery location.

It'll be plenty big and you'll be surprised at how many passes you get with it till it's half empty.
