Anyone ever heard that your not supposed to paint a gas tank due to it insulating too much and causing moisture to build up inside? I was going to prime and paint my tank since it sits behind the seat in the cab of my truck and is pretty visible. But than someone mentioned it would cause too much insulation and condensation could form in the tank. Doesn't seem likely to me but I'm pretty inexpierenced. It is an original tank and its not painted, so maybe he has a point.

I can't see a problem with it. In fact a lot of tanks are sealed both inside and outside...or painted with paint or Por15. Sounds like someone had a particular problem at some time in their life and one persons problems have become worldwide?

I'm sure someone smarter than I will chime in shortly!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
