galvanized metal

[big hunter]

The fuek tank on my Allis Chalmers 190xtd is galvanized metal (at least it looks like it under the peeling orange paint) I've been using paint stripper and 3M disking all the other parts down to bare metal. What/how do I prep the fuel tank that has paint on galvanized metal. Then when I do paint do I used epoxy paint over the galvanized (if the is any galvanized left from prepping). Or do I strip the galvanized off then paint epoxy.

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I'm not very good at searching archives...I don't even know how to...

thank you very much.
