creased dent in petrol tank

[jonny.boyd]

Don't know if this is true or just a trick video but looks like fun

Been doing some youtube trawling and it seems if it's just a dent (not creased) then a hairdryer and compressed air will do the trick, this obviously wouldn't work for the OP

Aren't the tanks on the K8 double walled? I've seen there are other methods too, such as using dry ice, but these don't seem to work on double-walled tanks.

I've had a look for used tanks, but nothing for the K8 it seems. Another possibility is to simply get a Baglux tank cover, but even they are over 100£ and that would only 'hide' the problem.

Take it to a well established paint shop they will have methods of doing this, or just get another tank off a breaker, and spray it. Filler would just crack and fall off on this size dent, trust I done it on my car.
