I've certainly had car body filler before that claims to be petrol
resistant - I suppose it's open to debate whether that means it'll stand
full immersion for long periods, and whether it might be prone to failure
if there are any vibration issues involved.

My first car - must have been in the early 60's. Mate and I went of
to climb in the Cuillins and camped at Glen Brittle - some of you may
know the road.

Very rough in those days and we woke the first morning to a strong
smell of petrol and ominous drips.

The tank was unshipped, a billy can of petrol recovered and a patch
for the corroded area made up of a bean can lid and some black glue
from a tube that said "can be cleaned up with petrol" !!

We managed to scrounge enough petrol to get to the nearest petrol pump
and the patch saw us back to Edinburgh at the end of the holiday.

Ahh, nostalgia!!
