Gas Tank Prep

[troutstreamnm]

I ordered a new gas tank for my 70 Charger and it came with an slight external greasy coating on it.  Should I clean this off and then spray a clear coat over the tank to protect it?  Or is this greasy coat sufficient to protect the tank for the long haul?  Thanks

 Clean it off and clear coat it.

nothing like an oxidizing gas tank to blemish the view.

Sounds like the right thing to do.  Thanks for the input.
