To chime in again I gleefully ignore Kodak's warning about the need for 100 ml
of the stock solution per roll.
Just give it another couple of minutes from a recommended time it probably turns out.
I put 4 rolls in a 4 roll one liter tank.
No problemo!
and that's 1:3 so that's 62.5ml per roll instead of their lawyers request of
100. :)
Go figure! Works great!

I'm doing metal tanks and reels if you are doing Jobo I can't help you. 
Too many other variables in which I am not as familiar.
