Going to use POR15 to seal it. Then get pro to paint it.

I had a professional paint my tank (RS Paints)... and this happened. Frankly unsure what went wrong ... folk might suggest the tank was overfilled... but I've had 10s of vehicles in my life & spilled petrol at sometime on all of 'em. I suspect the lacquer simply didn't extend far enough over the colour coat - and due poor cap seal dripped down the outside of the filler neck.
(If it were a leaky filler neck joint the previous red would presumably have spoiled - it was perfect)

Regardless, the sprayer very unhappy, and tackled RS who deny wrong doing. Tank now being re sprayed (FOC) in a different brand, to as close as he can match it.

I guess I'll be far more cautious... ie only fill it 2/3 full, but what a pain.

Trigger:
The Man that has used it has spoke. I would never use any chemical sealer and would opt for a different tank but, Norniron would not listen.
One of the best sealers on the market is Flowliner which is used by many pro restorers.

Second that. Speak to Bob at C J Wylde's as he's lined several tanks with flowliner for me and never had a failure,
