I am restoring my car and thought I would clean up the tank and give it a fresh coat of paint. I used some standard Rustoleum on a gas tank that has been treated with Renu several years ago. The paint still has not dried and it has been almost a week? I suspect I've used the wrong paint, but what do I do now - strip it and repaint? - wait 'til it dries (may be Spring)? - get a new tank?

I don't know what Renu is so this may not help you. Anyway, when I repainted an area of my 911 trunk that had the factory pebble finisish undercoat, I had the same problem. Paint (automotive enamel in rattle can) was still tacky after 2 weeks and I ended up wiping it down with brake cleaner which took off some of the paint but did let it harden. The area where I had stripped the undercoat and applied POR15 dried normally so it was definitely a reaction with the undercoat.
