Start out with about 50- 75 gallons. That gives you 2 or 3 gallons per tap. at that you should empty it every day when the run is good.

I try to have about 2 gallons of tank for each tap. So for 22 taps I'd shoot for about 50 gallons. Might seem to be too much but I'd rather have sap in the tank not on the ground. That is just me though.

MapleKid,
I would agree that 2, 2.5 to 3 gallons of storage per tap should work 90% of the time for you.
I am going to use 39 gallon totes and I try to have around 16 to 20 taps per tote.
