Gas resistant paint for tank?

[Jack 34pu]

I want to spray (rattle can if possible) my gas tank before putting it back in place. Is there a rattle can 'black' that will withstand some gas spillage? Possibly Tractor Supply or similar outlet?

try some appliance epoxy. I think I seen gloss black, gloss white, satin stainless in wally world.

Acrylic enamel with hardner worked for me.

An epoxy would probably be the most durable

If there is alcohol in the gas good luck.

I was hoping someone could recommend a good industrial paint that could be applied before installing the gas tank. It is a Drake tank and has a silver paint or primer applied.

Do what Ford did. Use lacquer to paint the tank. It is fuel proof. Ford found that out when the gas tank was cowl mounted on the Model A where overfilling and ripping was a sure thing.

Use lacquer. It is fuel proof. Ford discovered that when the filler on the Model A was put into the cowl.

If Du Ponts IMRON is still available it will hold up brake fluid won't even touch it from what I have heard but it isn't in a rattle can

We buy lacquer in rattle cans for use on parts exposed to gas.
