-First you empty the tank.
-Then you fill it with water.
-After you sand the paint down.
-Next use a uni-spot welder to weld some rivits on without burning through the metal.
-Then use a dent puller to pull out the dent as much as possible. working from the edges of the dent to the center of it.
-When your done with that use body filler to smooth out the rest, you want this to be as thin as possible. which is why you pull the dent first.
-Now you empty the water out and use some rubbing alcohol in the tank to displace any water left in the tank, because after it removes the water it evaporates clean.
-Then paint, and so on, and so forth.
-You can add an extra step by treating the tank with a rust inhibitor if you like.


Yes Ive used this method, and yes it works.

I put a huge dent in the top of mine when I was painting it.  had it on rail of porch, and fell prolly 12 feet right onto a landscape timber.  and admit it, u had ur girl bent over the thing, and as u were finishing, u accidently knocked her and the bike over :thumb: :thumb: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

That's when you know your bike is not running right ... when you have to punch the tank.
Cool.

Glad to know that I'm not the only jackass that has lost their temper and applied a fist to the gas tank   :oops:
