No rust, paint, or any oil residue was left on the parts.
We had to wear protective clothing , facemask, gloves & rain gear to keep any residue off our skin, believe me, you only did that one ONCE, by the time you felt the burn it was too late, you could seriously scar your skin if you did not neutralize, and wash it off immediately
The tanks were hot enough to steam constantly & had a circulating pump in each one. Once or twice a year they were all drained and the sediment (yuck) was cleaned out.
