Having a lot of experience with my local powder coater (Exotic Coatings; those who attended PUB found their brochure on their front seat
I can suggest that powder coating OUR fuel tank would be dicey business.
Anything that holds fluid or pressure and gets PC must obviously come out of the process still able to hold its contents. The long baking process can "open up" all kinds of issues, and if that happens, now you have a part that needs repair and refinishing. That makes a very expensive part--our fuel tank--even more costly.
I believe that the flower pot is plastic; in the tech manual the plastic would be discolored. You'd be discolored too, sitting in petrol all your life. Even if earlier ones might be metal, if they are zinc they might not survive the baking.
My suggestion is to leave the powder coating for passive parts. The fuel tank is active. It might cost $200 or more to coat it anyway, and that's a big investment in an already expensive part. A good, solid paint job will last a very long time and give you no potential issues.
