You would need about 10 ft of tubing.

I wouldn't suggest using the Primochill premixed fluid. Get some Pentosin G11, mix it 1:10 with distilled water, a couple drops of PT nuke and a drop of Dawn dish soap.

If you're buying Primochill, might as well just throw everything in the trash.
Petrastech FTW!

Dawn is just a brand name...however Dawn is one of the only dish soaps that if you pour it down a bee hive all the bees will die. (Not sure if this is fact of myth). I believe any old dish soap is fine...all you use it for is to loosen up the water and lube your parts.
