All stainless rusts, including internally at room temperature.  That is
why it is called Stain "LESS", not Stainfree.
    The only stainless that I have ever seen that did not rust was on a
newer Swan (swedish built) sailboat.  8 Years in the caribbean and the
stainless looked like new, without cleaning and polishing.  The stainless
on most other boats in the tropics look more akin to exhaust pipe.
