tank reformation questions

[Guest]

i have a rather large dent in my tank how do i get it out??
p.s. my broken lever has something to do with this one
DONT ASK

Don't use the "freeze it" trick. That will distort the whole tank...

Strip the paint, braze something to the outside of the tank & use it as a dent puller.

Kragen used to sell some kind of adhesive kit that served the same purpose, I think Chef1366 used one on an L tank....

Heres my thread from a while ago on how I pulled my dent.

My "fix" is on page 3.

Look up "paintless dent removal". You will likely find someone locally with the tools and skills. Not expensive at all. Depending on the location and nature of the dent, it might be easy or it might be hard.

How big/deep is the dent? Maybe a job for Bondo.

Can you post a couple of pics. Hard to tell about a repair w/o seeing it, but it sounds like you could take it to a body shop that has a stud gun and they could then pull most of em out with that.

ok ill take pics of it in the light tomorrow and show yall what i have

I taped a piece of cloth around and wrench and pushed a good size dent out. I went in through the gas gauge. Might work for you.
