If it would help in preventing rust, I would coat it. I bought one for my 69 chevy about 10 years ago. Then about 3 years back the engine blew up on me and it's been sitting not being used. Now I can see where the part that is not constanly covered in gas is rusting (I think it had about 1/2 tank of gas).
