OK, I learned the hard way that filling your tank to the top and leaving it in the sun will cause parts of your tank paint to melt away.Is there anything besides undercoating or truck bed coating that will withstand gas? Am also one of those that no matter how I shake it, there's still a few dribbles (at the gas station). I've got a can of truck bedliner and am not afraid to use it...

Factory paint should withstand gasoline, as should most modern urethane basecoat/clearcoat automotive paints.
I painted a tank with can spray paint and that happened.
If that's what you are doing, you might try this - http://www.kpg-industrial.com/produc..._with_ceramic/
I never tried it and the colors are limited. I think tradrockrat uses something like that. You can send him a PM.
I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
usually this is caused by gas getting under your paint at the edges. it is hard to get smooth paint edges around the spout, and since that part is never seen, edging is overlooked. sanding the edges of the paint there, and coating them with clear fingernail polish will help.......the chrome fill spout protectors work too, but I think they look tacky
I let my mind wander.......It never came back
Thanks. It is/was a rattle-can job. I'll try the automotive or Krylon engine paint due to funds. And i'll watch the edges. Am not a fan of the spout protectors except maybe the aircraft style (which the stock tanks don't have).

If you wipe away the spill the ceramic paint works just fine. I'm a flat black kind of guy so color options never worried me, but the exhaust paint has held up very well to the drips and dribbles that come from filling up.
