im not on tubing but if I can remember from other threads you need drops to a large mainline. if you use 5/16 all the time im sure on a good flow day it should handle 5-10 taps. what size of pail are you using to catch the sap in. 10 taps at a gallon a day average.....i think a brand new garbage can would work out... $10.00 with a lid.....thats a dolllar per tap...not bad. it would hold 3 days flow (30 gallons) if you have work interfearing..... you just need to get a 12 volt bilge pump for the ATV to pump it to your collection tank.
