Tank Dent

I have quite a large dent in my tank ... wondering what the best option would be to remove it. I was thinking I may have a crack at this one myself, seeing as im likely to end up needing a new tank as it'll be cheaper than getting it done professionally so may as well have a crack it it myself.



What tools are best for the job and are there any guides around for doing this. Also I've seen comments about the tank being dual layered. So what should I do ?

Your easyiest option is get a tank cover.. oh and paint over the rusty bits, nail poslish works rather well...

You call that a dent ? More like a crater to me .

Seriously it looks like lots of filling out to be done. Like Grinch said you couls hide the dent with a tank cover. What colour is the tank?(looks silver to me).


Nb for Grinch: Sorry Mate , I'll sort the stuff for you I should have done about a week ago today .

Cheers
Ben

Listen carefully I will only say this once.

Remove tank and blank off fuel outlet.
Fill tank with frozen peas.
Pour boiling water over peas.
Close fuel cap and allow to expand.

I jest not this works.

Thats gotta be the most random thing i've ever heard and I like it Cheers burner I think i'll give this a try but like grinch said ... what about pees getting stuck?

Never done it with an SV tank so can't say but it sorted my slingshot tank.

Is it worth trying a few psi to see if it will pop out?
