Clear coat bubble from gas?

[frenchy]

I just noticed yesterday when filling up the gas tank that the paint around the filler hole of the gas tank is bubbling a bit. More specifically, i guess it's not the paint, it's the clear, the paint underneath looks to be ok. I don't remember spilling anything last time i filled up (nov 11), and the paint/clear was good. What's the deal? Is there a way to stop this from getting worse. It's not visible when the gas cap is on, and i wouldnt want it to get worse. Should I pop the bubble to stop the expansion?

Any suggestions? Thanks

pop the bubble and get some clear epoxy to repair around filler

Thank pj. Popped the bubble to stop it from expanding. Now I need to look for a clear epoxy resistant to gasoline.
Anybody have a brand you feel is good or better than others?
thanks

fill up with a rag around the spout from now on, or if that's not the issue, check the gasket on your cap...it might need replacing. I had gas shoot up all over the place while riding one day because of a bad gasket.
