Remove the paint?

[antos]

Just a quickie lads,
I’m sure I read somewhere After having a respray to sand off the paint around tank filler hole to stop it getting under the paint, anyone advise if I should do this?
Thanks Antos

Yes take it back to metal on the lip

Seen tanks that hadn't had it done and the petrol had got under the paint like you say

I did this then sprayed some petrol proof laquer into the can lid and put it around the paint lip with an artists paintbrush. Seems to have sealed quite well.
