How much did you use when tuning?

Going for my first tune on Friday- of course I have to drive to get it done, so I want to make sure I take enough fluid. How much did you use when you got tuned? 1 gal, 2 gal?

a metric ton.

Seriously. Normal driving around, I got 2-3 tanks of gas from one meth fillup.
When tuning I would fill the bottle up, and take a 2 gallon can with me (full) because I would drain the tank pretty quickly. I dolnt think I ever used more than 2 fillups worth though.

If you are using the washer bottle, a 100PSI pump, and a 10gph nozzle, you have about 7min total worth of spray IIRC. That doesnt sound like much, but it is. It only becomes "not much" when you are doing a lot of back to back long rpm range pulls.
I would buy a 5 gallon can, 2 gallons of alch, 2 gallons of water, mix in can, and take it all with you. That should be way more than enough, but you want to be sure right? You likely wont use more than 2 gallons though.

I've got a 1.5gal tank, so I'm thinking I'll have to fill twice, maybe 1.5 times. Figured 2 gal would be enough.. maybe not- I'll mix up a 5 gal tank and take it with me, never hurts to have too much on reserve.
