    On the CBR, I got a panel beater to put filler over it and smooth it out. Then it was resprayed black. Cost 160 bucks. Plus and original Honda sticker for 40 bucks and it look good as new. Even got rid of the paint spill marks so was looking better than before

    or you do the oldest way possible.....

    get the household plunger out and do it with that it will pop right out most times others it will get rid of most of it but leave the very middle.

    wouldnt believe it unless id seen it myself

    LOL - are you serious? will the water expanding give enough force to push the dent out? is this a method which gets results? Would it not alter the structural integrity of the rest of the tank? - presuming that equal force is being put on the rest of the tank - possibly putting it out of shape?...
