Is that very hard to get and how expensive is that ?
In my conjectural case , could be 34 gallons possibly ?
I can buy it at my local groceries store. They sell by the pound. The last time I bought it (a couple of years ago) I believe I spent about $25.00 for 20 lbs. (2-10 lbs. pieces). I'm only guessing but I think 10 lbs. should do both tanks if you don't take too long to move the filler neck.

Note: Always wear heavy glove. Dry Ice is -271° C.

Another possibility is using Nitrogen. You can get a bottle and a regulator at your local welding shop, more expensive initially. Later you can use it to fill your tires.

In both cases be sure you use it in a well ventilated area, the gases will displace the oxygen in the air.
