How often can skunks spray, and is it physically possible for them to spray multiple times in quick succession?

They have a certain amount of spray fluid that they can use. They have the ability to spray in a line (in the predators eyes), or as a mist (to deter the predator). If they spray high powered, then they will only have about one spray, but they usually get their target and get away. They can mist many times, until their liquid storage runs out. It takes anywhere from a few hours or a day to replenish.
