Tank dent removal
Is it possible to get these small dents removed in a paintless fashion? I kind of figure that fill & spray will just be unviable in terms of cost.

Re: Tank dent removal
The one on the side possibly, the one on the top which looks more lik a crease, I doubt it.

Tank dent removal
I asked this question on this forum years ago and was told no because the tank is double skinned. I never found out whether that was correct.

Re: Tank dent removal
Tried a hair dryer and a bag of ice?
Sometimes works on things like this - sometimes doesnt |

Re: Tank dent removal
Its quite simple, use the hair dryer to heat the spot to a really hot temperature then put ice on instantly once its hot, try an ice block or bag of ice.
Its basically what professionals use except they use a heat gun and dry ice |
