as long as the elements covered by the end of the run you will be fine. If on gas that doesnt matter you could do 10lts and prob get away with it but may scorch it

How far above the bottom of a 50ltr keg would you have the element

I run gas so cant say but at a guess 40mm would be alright you dont want it to touch the bottom of coarse
