try it !

i got a dent in my RD 350LC tank and would like to get that out but the fuel cap isnt tight enough :cry: [/quote]

In which case please ignore my suggestion. Never having to have to undent a tank I assume it is ok if tank is well flushed before?. Also what about tacking a stud to the dent and pulling it out. again flushing before welding, ensuring that tank is not sealed etc.

Find a friendly garage or repair shop. Normally they should have a balloon & compressed air affair. See if they can push most of the dent out.

Never tried it myself, as the only time I needed it the tank was completely creased, so had to be replaced anyway.

If there are any creases in the tanks then the metal will be weakened along the crease (bend it once to put the dent in, and a second time to take the dent out.)

Take advice from the garage if they think it will still be OK to use.

LMFAO!!!! That would be soooooo funny :D I've gotta do it now :D

Ahh, I see you're in Devon.


I'm standing well back.....OK, do it!!!!!!!!!!









To answer the earlier question....Yes, they're double skinners these days. 8)

Hmm, I've seen a curvy tank cut open and it was single skinned...

Pmsl@ Pea tight

Funny seeing this thread resurrected ... :D I had my dent pulled in the end one place qouted me £200 to pull it without respray, managed to get it done for £50 by a friend of a friend in the end and it looks lovely :D.

Also just bought a dented tank on ebay that im gonna use for track days, only cost £25 including postage so might try the pea trick on this one :D:D:D I'll keep you all posted :wink:
