Most likely not.
There is a spray can paint called "SprayMax 2K" that comes in gloss, satin, and matte finishes that will hold up to gas.
It's fairly expensive, but worth it for tanks. It's a 2-part catalyzed paint in a can. I recently did some bodywork with the gloss and was impressed. I haven't actually tested it with gas (this was a front fairing), but a catalyzed paint will always be far superior to standard air-dry types.
