This might work but if you try it, please, please make sure there are NO gasoline fumes in the tank before heating it.Use a heat gun to get it as hot as you can, (you might blister the paint) And then put a piece of dry ice on it, That will cause the metal to shrink where the dent stretched it and sometimes (not always) make the dent reform back to the original shape.
There are other ways if you don't want to try this one.
LOL, I guess I should have said that, I just thought that would be a common sense thing. Thanks for the clarification.This might work but if you try it, please, please make sure there are NO gasoline fumes in the tank before heating it.

But where's the fun in that. Why, I think it might provide a little extra light to see what you're doing (never mind that your eyebrows are singed off).This might work but if you try it, please, please make sure there are NO gasoline fumes in the tank before heating it.

I do paint less dent repair and there are cheaper tools of what i use sold at auto zone for 5 bucks including tax its a flat rounded edge piece of metal and all you do is use slight pressure and work the dent from the outer edge to the inside it will get smaller with minimal pressure use very bright lighting tho so you can see it and don't work too fast unless the paint has cracked, you will not notice that it ever had a dent when you are done, if it has a crease forget itAnyone know how to get a large dent outta a gas tank?
