Default Rust in Gas cap opening

I've just noticed cracked / chipped paint and a little rust on the bare metal inside the gas cap opening right around where you stick the gas nozzle in. Hate to see rust getting into the tank. Any suggestions?

Mines plastic. Maybe yours is a way old model. Like 1940's.

Ah, not the gas cap, but the actual tank opening where you screw the gas cap in . . . sorry for the confusion.

Not sure what year your bike is but when I disassembled my '07 tank there are quite a few good spots of rust inside and when I disassembled the fuel filter it was caked with rust.

You could do that (disassemble the tank,etc), then do the Kreme treatment.
