To treat steel for rust use phosphoric acid (paint prep),many other names.
Phosphoric acid turns iron oxide(rust) into iron phosphate (inert),stops the rusting process.

Good paint is no longer sold in spray cans. It is NOT fuel proof.
One drop of gas on your paint job and your paint is ruined.

You can buy two part epoxy clear paint though in a spray can to put over your paint. Duplicolor paint is compatible with the two part clear paint in a spray can.

       Not so Lucky is right to a point,, Never has any of my tanks that I've paint with the type and way I paint with a spray can ever gotten ruined by gas,
                        THIS PIC IS WERE GAS LEAKS ON MY TANK all the time
