Not sure what you have available to you in the UK. I would use liquid WD-40, except that it's rather costly. I think that Varsol is another good option. You might also be able to use acetone, because it will evaporate in seconds in the hot sun. The point is to find something that will displace any remaining water and then be compatible with petrol; Varsol is petroleum-based, so I think it's suitable.

I get the process, and how you have to stare at it, visualize the negative space and imagine how you'd like it to look. You're doing a great job. May we see a profile pic of the tank?
