No such thing as gas PROOF paint, but any paint with hardener in it is gas resistant. Any auto body or tractor implement with a hardener with it should work out fine for you, but you will want to let it cure out. Sounds like you are using awhich will not work in an environment with solvents, you will need to spray it with a quality paint or clear with hardener.

you are correct, you need to use an automotive style paint best being a 2 stage basecoat-clearcoat and a couple extra layers of clear would help your cause, while you will use an activator in your paint I would also use a quick flash thinner, and if your tank is plastic not use as much clear but you will need to add a flex agent and possibly a fish eye eliminator in it since the plastic will be contaminated from the gas...
