I over filled the tank and now have brown fuel streaks on the tank
that are resisting my efforts to remove them. Very specific
suggestions, preferably those that don't include repainting the
tank, would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Cover them with dents and scratches.
Alternately, try Ronsonol lighter fluid and a clean rag.
Ronsonol is a good cleaner of oil-based stuff but very
gently on paint and plastics.

I would think that a good waxing would work...

Turtle Wax on a old wash cloth, buffed off with a old towel.
Should do the trick.

I would guess you are correct. WD-40 should loosen and remove it.
