Tank ding

[B0ndy]

Just bought a bike and it came with a ding in the tank, would like to do something about it even though it doesn't bother me too much.

Youtube shows mixed results of people sticking objects on with hot glue then trying to pull the ding out, along with people using filler then painting over it.

Have you tried any of these methods before and if so what were your results like?

Never come across this and have no clue.
I would guess anything that can pull it with glue or suction and use compressed air inside the tank but there`s the fuel pump?? to consider.

There are places can press them back (from inside through the filler) with specialised tools.
It looks like a relatively easy one to do with no creases.
These are near me I aren't recommending them as such as I never used them but do know the guy running it - you might find one more handy. You get the idea though

I suppose you could make the photo a bit smaller if you tried.

I read the title as 'Tank dating'.

I can't help with advice on either.

air line and a rag to plug the filler hole does work but you might want to heat the area with a hot air gun first and some gentle taps with something not going to damage the paint "MAY" help pop out the worst of it

Give it me and i`ll blow it up (sorry out).

If you nearly fill the tank up to the dent with water and then slightly pressurise it along with suction

Practical Sportbike tried the hot glue, screw jack method and had some sucess although the dent was not completely removed and they took some decal off with it. May be worth a try - the kits are cheeeeep
