I concur Bad Idea given the soft goods internal to a Fuel Pump.

Now the Plating Idea would possibly be a easier route, think about it.
It is Already Brite (Clear) silver Zinc, All it would need is the Dichromate post treatment, that would not require rectifier hook up just a Dunk and Dip and Rinse.
Nasty Stuff.
My Plater source (Edmonds-Everett Guy doing Planes stuff after all he is kind of Slow right at the moment *Strike effects) would tell me to take a Hike and Jump off a cliff when bringing him such a "Risky" item (To Him).

Go Get a Fluorescence Yellow Highlighter from Office Maz and Do a Test Swipe, that Might Yellow it up enough- Backyard Hack maybe, You Just Never know.

The Eastwood Paints might be able to be misted on over it to trick some, but usually I DO NOT bother with Poof Can plating.

I was a Caswell user 20 years ago but found at time commercial platers WILL help out, but thier moods change with the times.
