hi can anyone tell me what paint to use on brass fuel tank, hammerite doesnt seem to like brass, someone suggested bitumen paint but surely the petrol will dissolve it

Hope that helps

hi
im no expert but when i was in the army i was a petroleum technician and we just used red lead to line our metal fuel tanks.
if you do try it then fill the tank(after letting the red lead go off)leave it for a couple of days then drain the tank,there will be some flakes and bits of crap to get rid of but it should be fine after that,it is always worth installing an inline filter just to be on the safe side.
