The Power of Apple Cider Vinegar for Rust Removal

How much did vinegar did it take to submerge it completely? What kind of container are you using?
.
I poured in 4 gallons of vinegar and a half a container of table salt. This was with the block sitting in the barrel. Then I filled it with water to where it was approximately 4 inch above the top of the block which works out to about 40 gallons maybe 45.

My tank is a plastic 55-gallon drum that I cut the top out of.

This is the tank with the block sitting inside it. The apple vinegar bubbles like swamp gas coming up in a swamp. It forms a foamy crust on the top.
