Painting an outboard gas tank

[byacey]

Not sure what forum to post this under... I want to repaint the tank for my outboard, but I want to use a paint that is resistant to getting dissolved by the inevitable gas spillage. Any ideas?

Paint it red. Law requires gasoline containers to be red.

Who distributes Rustoleum? I'm in Canada and I have never heard of this kind of paint. Is it like Tremclad?

Those old metal tanks are going the way of the dinosaur. Personally, I'm glad I have the new plastic tanks where I need not worry if the tank is starting to rust, leak, or stop functioning properly.
