I'm currently working on a dented fuel tank trying to get it presentable to use on my recent Interceptor acquisition. I tried unsuccessfully to get the dent out using various methods and finally decided just to take the Bondo approach.

It would have needed paint touch up regardless of method so I think this is an OK approach.

Here's where I am as of this evening. Will do more prep tomorrow and hopefully the first application of filler.

Baz, I repaired a dented aluminum RM250 tank for a buddy some years ago using compressed air and a propane torch. It was nerve racking but it came out great with just a touch of bondo needed.

Hi Tim - thanks for posting - super impressive! I have read about using heat and compressed air - even a blood pressure tester - and am sure I will use some of those applications in the future. For now this one should end up Ok with just the bondo. I used the bondo with embedded fg cloth shreds. Hope to get back on that job tomorrow.
