You should be OK if they're small. But the rule of thumb is 35 litres per
GF, unless you're a UK GF in which case it's 45 litres per GF. So you
should really have 110 litres for your GF.

Yes, but gallons are not. So 10 imperial gallons per GF gives you 45 litres
and 10 US gallons per GF gives you 35 litres. But I assume the 'experts'
mean 10 US gallons.
