Am I about to ruin my bathtub?

I have an antique porcelain clawfoot tub. Will a large volume (10 or 12 litres) of hydrochloric acid pit or stain the surface?

My alternative is an old oil drum in the backyard (pros: fumes, won't wreck my bathroom; cons: no drain, neighbors can see).

Or should I be using quicklime or lye instead?

(Sorry for the multi-part question- this is the first time I've done this and I don't want to screw it up)
