I want a 12 volt solenoid valve to turn on my extra fuel tank, in the bed of my truck. will the 12 volt coil last, when left on for long periods of

Even with low current (~ 2A) feeding this valve, when I tried to leave it on for a long time this valve got really hot. My test was about 30 minutes, and I ended up removing the valve from my design. I was hoping to use this as a redundant, fail safe valve, and tried a simple circuit to limit the current at the solenoid, but it still got hot when turned on. Too bad, because for the price this valve is well-built for intermittent operation.

I'm looking for an electric valve that can release co2 at bursts, ideally at least 100 individual bursts from a single 12g cylinder. Can this do?

Sounds like you're looking for a high-pressure valve or trigger? This ain't it. A typical bbq propane tank is only 100 or 200 psi. Your 12g is 850/900 psi.

Would this be good for a train horn set up

I'm sure it would be. The one I ordered just burned up as soon as I turned it on. I use to have train horns and hooked them up to air and the electric valve I hooked up to regular horn steering wheel. Worked awesome

What is the operating time (closed to open) of the valve?

sorry don't know an exact time. was only interested in opening long enough to fill a fuel tank and closing to stop fuel flow.
