Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a bike that has a small shallow dent in the tank (sorry, no pictures at the moment). Does anyone know any good tips for removing dents without damaging the paint? Or are there any good places in Auckland that can do it? Cheers.

Compressor...seal tank, adapt fitting for petcock threaded opening and you can pop out dents...
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

Just live with the dent.
Is it really that bad?

Don't bother doing this if you can't regulate the pressure, you're likely to just split the tankOriginally Posted by awayatc

Put a dent on the other side. Call it customised

Depends where dent is . U dont need much pressure a bicycle pump can be enough for a large shallow dent ..it will pop but won't be perfect ... a second hand tank is often a good idea ..OR do the prep yourself and get a pro to finish it ....
