Claim Text:
1. A method of disinfecting an interior of a container having an opening but otherwise closed, the method comprising the steps of: fitting into the container through the opening an elongated housing having an outer end carrying a seal and an inner end and a wall extending between the ends, formed with a plurality of throughgoing holes, and forming a reaction chamber; fitting the outer end with the seal in the opening to close the container to substantially prevent fluid flow into and out of the interior; providing an ozone generator inside the housing; and generating ozone in the chamber inside the closed container solely from air inside the container with the ozone-generator such that the generated ozone passes out through the holes into the container and internally disinfects the container without escaping from the container and without any fluid being drawn into the container during ozone generation.
