Petrol Tanks seam dented. To fix or not to fix? - zirconxi_imp - 10-04-2020
Clumsy me drop the tank while cleaning the bottom of it. I rest my tank on an old tire and its only about 15cm drop and my tank seams (2013 model) are now dented/bend. No leak and paints are not cracked. But the sight just irritate me. Had been hesitating, should I bend back the dent and risk puncturing the tank or crack and chips the paint?? Or just leave it as one of the battle scars....

Maybe consider hiding the dent by adding flexible 1/4 inch chrome trim. Available at auto parts stores.

Gently compress it back into "straightness" with a wood clamp?

By the sounds of it, paintless dent removal might be worth a shot..
