How many feet of tubing is needed for multiple kegs?

Yo, BN Army!

My apologies if this question has been answered on the forum before (I searched).

Is there a rule of thumb for how many feet of gas tubing one needs to attach to a manifold for proper carbonation?

My particular situation is:
I have a two-way manifold that I'm planning on connecting to my kegging system (Fiddy G's Munich Helles already on tap, and a German Hefeweizen being kegged tomorrow). I didn't know how many feet of 5/16" ID tubing to get, so I erred on the side of caution and bought 10 feet.

The specific number of feet is required on the liquid side. About 5 feet for 3/16" liquid tubing for 10-12 psi serving pressure and 2-2.5 volumes CO2.

Gas tubing can be any length.

There is a ton of info on this if you search the inter-web, for example:
http://kegman.net/balance.html
http://www.franklinbrew.org/brewinfo/balance.html

just search: balance draft lines
or: balance beer lines

Yep. As long as it's long enough to get from your CO2 tank to all the kegs, you're in good shape. I like to have mine long enough to stretch from one side of the freezer to the other, so at least 4 feet for me.

Oh, I didn't read the post well, I was talking beer line tubing.

Thanks for the answers! My kegerator works like a charm!
