If you could get hold of an old salvage tank to practice on, I would think that cooling the spot with carbon dioxide “spray cleaner” during the pull out would assist greatly. Afraid the heat part would soften the glue holding the puller on. Just thinking............

I could try it. Can't do any worse. I have to wet sand the tank because it got concrete marks on it when it dropped off the jack stands. Thank you, Ross M.

Story is that the owner pulled a dent out of the tank but drilling holes and using a slide hammer. He then bondo'd the holes shut and painted over it. After a while the gas ate through the bondo, leaked fumes into the garage, ignited by the gas water heater, and burnt down the garage. -Kyle On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 9:47 AM, Ross M.

What makes you think the dent is the weakest shape in the tank? Maybe something else would give out first. Maybe compressed air and this “Dent Out” tool would do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThG68RmDGrk&feature=related Available from Amazon. (P.S. If it works, I got first dibbs on borrowing it.

I would also be very interested to know how the compressed air method works, if you try it. I hadn't thought of that...

Thought all was good, then the tank fell over & got dented. Should have drained it while on the bike. Lesson learned. My question - has anyone out there tried compressed air to pop a dent out of a mc fuel tank? Thank you, Ross M.
