How to treat rust of your dyeing pot

Bought an empty motor oil barrel from ebay, 60 L capacity. Cut off the top, cleaned off remaining oil. Intention was to use it as dyeing container, which worked sofar for the first attempt. Placed it on a conductive heater to heat up the water continously, the barrel is magnetic.

To the problem, shit's rusting fast, look at this. Cleaned it two times with vinegar but it starts to rust right after. Large stainless steel pots are so expensive + they don't work with conductive heaters, no? This barrel was about 18€ only. Then again 'rust' dyeing is a thing lol
