I Have a really small dent on the side of my MC's gas tank. What are my options ? Ca
 

...out ?

It would deepened were exactly the dent was but More then likely it can be popped out. Most small dents can. Before making any decision i would take it to a manic and ask them and if you don't want to do it yourself shop around for the best manic at the lost cost.

Yes, you can pop it out using a paintless dent remover without the help of a professional. I removed the dent from my car (from hitting a post) and you seriously cant tell it was ever there. The kit was called "Ding King" and it costs under 20 bucks. I got it at a store in the mall called "As Seen on TV." You can also access the link provided below and purchase it online. But, make sure you read all the instructions, so you don't make an ugly dent worse than it is. Good luck!

Yes, it should be able to be popped out. Often it can be done with a vaccuum puller, or powerful magnets. They also make little puller kits that attach to the dent with a glue-like substance attached to a pulling rod that can often pull out small dents - cheap and available at most auto supplies. The magnetic stuff is done mostly by companies like 'Dent Pros'.

The tank is a heavier steel than you can just pop out easily . You can straighten it though , but it's a little involved . If it is a small enough dent I believe I would just use filler and let it go . A deep dent though , can be pulled out by welding a piece of rod to the dent , or several pieces if it is really big , and then use a slide hammer to tap the dents out while heating the area with a torch . Of course you will have to empty the tank etc. before doing this . Then use hammers to shape it as well as you can and then use body filler to finish . As I said , it's really involved , so you may either want to let it go , or hire a professional to do it .
