Best thing to do is fill plastic bottles full of water and place as many as you can around the frame to consume as much of the spare volume as possible. this should make you ten litres do further but i doubt it will cover the whole fame.
You may have to flip it as one of the chain/seat stays will probably sit out of the liquid :daumenhoch:

Have a look on the tub, alot of anti rust stuff is either Oxalic, phosphoric or citric acid. Not sure on the first two but i always use pure citric acid powder as its cheap and wont kill any seagulls ;)
oldschoolace:
The end of the first paragraph tells you all you need to know about how good citirc acid is :daumenhoch:
