Enough there to scare the daylights out of you, Greg!

As it turns out i did have to use a small amount of SS cleaner(not BKF) on the inside as the seams were rusted the entire length of the inside. Once i got rid of that rust i washed it out with hot oxclean and sponge,rinsed it well,and then dumped in two litres of double strength Starsan.I shook it well to coat the inside and let it sit for 30mins,repeated that process,then dumped the starsan into the sink and put the lid into that.Dried out the inside of the FV with a towel and left it out back in the air for the day to passivate. ;D
How much starsan went in to that 2 litres?

Just over 1oz.  ;D
