How to fix a dint in a gas tank?

[Okbroncoman]

So, my gas tank has a dint in it. The dint is about 3/4” deep and 8” across, but it right under where the pickup tube hits the dint. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Factory or aftermarket?

Factory steel rear tank. I can’t get anything thur the sending unit hole to get it out.

or a PDR kit. I bought this one and use it on the family cars. Works great. The trick is getting the correct glue stick for the temperature.

Alternative it to seal off everything and pressurize with air.

Any pictures of the dent? PDR is def a good reco if the tank is not creased too badly. PDR has actually pulled OEM paint off on me before.

I’ve never used fishing Magnets what strength would i need, to pull a dint? Thanks

I wouldn't mess with it. $105 from Jegs gets you a new one.....

long crow bar and push it from access hole. I'd just leave it myself.

Compressed air

This is with a pressure washer but same idea. I wouldn’t put more than 2 psi in

My son uses PDR to remove dents from motorcycles with dents in gas tanks. Told me to get Gorilla Glue Sticks. Swears by them.
