    Advice please.

    I need a bit of help here people.
    I have a rather rounded, small, nice knee shaped impression in my brand new tank.
    Should I use a guy who wishes to air pop it out and risk the tank splitting, or use the other who thinks that he can 'pull' (not sure what exactly this process is) out!

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    depends on ...
    ...how stretched / concave the dent is - if lots then will have to be pulled out or just bogged over.

    ...where it is, is it on a large relatively flat area or on a more rounded "corner" part - then may "pop" out if on large flatish area.

    ... another option, depending on where the dent is, is to push it out by taking out the petcock and shoving something thru the hole.

    don't you just hate depends answers?

    Cool

    I got one too on the left side of my tank after my wee bin in Feb this year.

    My knee is still sore from hitting it.

    I would NOT use air pressure - chances are the whole tank will distort.

    Pulling is a lower risk. - Tank might not look pretty if it goes wrong but it will be useable.
