I think more in line with 4 to 5 gallons and you feel safe, 5 to 6 gallons you might start getting ghost flameouts. Of course I am also in Vietnam with crap fuel and lots of heat. My Nova based Fusions are doing well, still high run time 9 to 10 minutes at 6 gallons and reliable. We also are running 1 hour mains, last time I used my 6 plus gallon X3LFM (mod) engine I got 9:40 run times with enough for one more lap but then bone dry and in the one hour main I had one flame out at the 45 minute mark, might have been fuel or something else but my last pit stop I pushed past 10 minutes and it quit going to pit lane after my final lap I was at 10:02 when she cut.
