Isopropyl alcohol.. if you wear specs and have a packet of those spec cleaners they'll do fine.

I bought a litre bottle off Amazon... its dead handy to have https://amzn.eu/d/8ewamKh

Any solvent based liquid could also be used (nail varnish remover, thinners) as long as you dont soak it. a spot on a cloth will take it off quick. OE paints nowadays are chemically cured and are very resistant .

was going to say something similar as this ^^^ as the tank should be resistant to petrol due to any spillage when filling
