Seen the photo's and the tank is in quite good condition. However, the experiment I ran last night to remove the dents from another tank didn't work and as I can't be bothered to start trying to pull dents out and respray I shall pass on this occasion!

I was hoping for a really easy fix as I'm a lazy sod! :-D

What experiment would that be?? Air compressor??

Plumbers pipe freezing spray. It doesn't get the metal cold enough to shrink back into shape though!

I think the crease is too bad for that to work.

Didn't even work on a small dent so it's back to the drawing board. I know liquid nitrogen works but it's a bit difficult to get hold of!!

Ever try presurising the tank with a compressor and popping the dent out that way?

[phil24_7]

Don't have a spare tank lock so no way of keeping the pressure in it. The tank is also too creased to pop out properly!

Hi,
Do you still have the tank? Is it possible to have a look at a couple of pics? I only need it for a track bike so a bit of damage is fine. My last tank has a huge knee shaped gouge out of it so anything'll be better than that!
Cheers,
Dave
