The European equivalent is 200 litre drums. This is a significant quantity of H2SO4, trying to order multiple amounts here would attract attention from various authorities.
Other sources claim it was used for part of a water purification system, this is still rather a lot to be ordering, and simply having this stuff hanging around invites other less pleasant uses.
I occasionally buy a litre to clear out blocked drains, I don't like using the stuff and wear full PPE when doing so and since last few years I'm more likely to get carded due to its use as a weapon by criminal gangs in my region..

@schnedan the teeth research used the same stuff in the concentration Epstein was getting (and is normally used for drain cleaning purposes), its as concentrated as you can easily get (can never be 100% without a lot of extra work as sulphuric acid is hygroscopic)
