I'm tired and don't feel well, which is why I'm not doing the math myself, but something seems fishy to me about just integrating that curve and getting an answer because it's independent of the size of your storage tanks. The integration also doesn't yield time.

You've got volume/minute on the Y axis, and pressure on the X axis, so the integration will yield units of volume*pressure/time, or power (in the charming non-SI unit of inch-lbs/minute)--not time.
