    Default 3/16 tubing capacity

    For some of you, this goes in the "who cares?" category. I am going to try some 3/16 tubing this year. I've always wondered about all that sap sitting in the lines...

    Did some calculations to determine how much sap we're talking about. I was shocked.... It takes around 700 feet of 3/16 tubing to hold ONE GALLON. I was assuming much more (gallons).

    Someone tell me my calculations are wrong.
