Engineers What quantity of commodities are we talking?

I've recently started on a second account which I intend to take to Colonia once I have opened up the four engineers out there - so my current priority is opening up the four in the Bubble that introduce them to me.

I note in Inara that selling commodities to The Dweller and Liz Ryder is one way to increase reputation. In my main account I didn't work on engineers until I'd been playing for a while so I had a decent store of mats and could just craft to gain rep - this isn't the case for my second account so I'm thinking about trading instead.

So, I'm wondering - how much will I need to trade to get to eg grade 3? Hundreds / thousands of tonnes? Any ideas?
 
Considering you will make FSDs and distributors/weapons, there is no point is using the alt method when you can just use engineering. It's been so long since I dismissed the option I couldn't give you figures; it was a stupid amount though iirc.
