If the tank is that bad Mike, hit it with some paint stripper and start over.

No paint stripper, it is a semi paste that you brush on.

I stripped the entire hood of a '75 Cadillac with this stuff: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip- ... 5yc1vZc5bq

It really does work in about 15 minutes. If you happen to have some old brake fluid laying around, that will work, also. Just not quite as fast.

If you haven't tried the paint stripper yet, put the fount in an old crock pot and cook it for a few hours, it should loosen the thick brushed on paint without damaging the original paint below or other parts.
