Rustoleum will hold up to 15% fuel with sufficient curing time. One or two days is not enough. Wait a week if you can.

You can even mask it and paint a different color of Rustoleum over it if you don't use super tacky tape. Wait a day or two before masking.

If you need to prime it, the Rustoleum Primer that Fills and Builds works great. But it needs a day or two to harden. It is gray. I like iit for when I need some filling and building and the primer doesn't need to be epoxy based.

If you don't have a spray rig, or if you don't want to have to clean a spray gun, the stuff works well.

If you do have a spray rig, either a gun or an airbrush, I can turn you onto some primer and paint that very works well and has no VOC content.

Don
Could you give me the name of the paint you mentioned in your post about Rustoleum if you have your own spray equipment.
Thanks
