    I agree with last posters put a peice of rope around the tube .an the pump it up after you warmed the tank up as hot as you cani did the same thing on my tanki filled it with very hot water then pumped it up also heat gun it pushed the hot water out but it kept it warm to pop out dents . Even ones i didnt notice .After i done the tank a part on the bottom (where your nuts go) was a lot smoother i just thought it was supposed to be like that .

    I used a blood pressure cuff with a squeeze bulb. Worked fine on my 1978 Honda 750. Easier to control where it is pushing. Saw it demonstrated on a UA-cam video. Great for a tank that you don't want to re paint. Yes finished of the job with a short wooden broomstick handle. Most people would never know that the tank had been dented...

    Went to a high end shop in Santa Cruz bitd for a tank dent. He went to his tool box and dropped in a lady fingers firecracker after water rinse. Worked great that particular dent. He joked about having only a few firecrackers left. Me and my friend brought him some to fill the one particular drawer. This was in late 80’s.

    When we used to pressurise our tanks back in the day, the trick was to use a 27" mountain bike tube. You fill it to thr point where the tank is under pressure, and tap the edges of the dent with a nylon hammer. It pops out gradually as you tap and add pressure. Its not meant to pop the dent, just put some force on the inside to work with. The bike tube comes out easy too.

    I agree that better is good. Doesn't have to be perfect just better than before. I fix what jumps out at me first.
    I worked with a guy who said he filled his dented tank with water, sealed it up then put it on a campfire. He said it exploded with a ruptured seam, flew through the air like a missile, then landed on one of those farming, tilling things with all the disks, destroying what was left of the tank. It was quite a story! Lol.

    Several different ways you can go at it...heres one. Wash it out getting rid of the fumes.... take a propane torch.... induce propane into the tank' then light it with the torch....tap down eyebrows/high spots during the process.
    Start out with small amounts of propane increasing and repeating if necessary.
    I'm not suggesting you do this but that's how we did it back in the early 70's when I first started doing Auto body and paint.
    Back then we used acetylene/tank/torch.

    I haven't seen this technique used, but I'm thinking that a rubber plumbing test ball could be used. These devices have a Schrader valve and are designed to fill the interior of a drainpipe to force open a blocked sewage system. They are available in most any plumbing supply store, in a variety of diameters from about 1-1/4" to 6". Each is expandable to fit a range of diameters. Fill the tank mostly with water, insert a test ball and inflate with an air compressor. This will seal the ball inside the fill neck and continue to pressurize the interior of the tank, applying equal pressure to all inner surfaces and hopefully pop out the dent.

    There are kits available that pump water into expansion chambers to force dents out. Both ends of the exhaust have to be plugged. This can also be used on fuel tanks. Water doesn't compress like air, so there won't be an explosive rupture if there's a crack in the tank or a bad weld.

    Maybe fill with water and seal cap with sheet of runber gasket material. Apply air pressure through gas shutoff valve. Then use body repair hot glue and maybe tap while pulling. Water is not very compressable. If the tank fails from pressure it will just spray water. If you only use air it could explode.

    The inner tube may have worked better if you would have heavely lubricated the tube with vaseline (olive oil for you fancier guys) so as to allow the tube to mate with the tank's inner surface ... Well that was my plan anyway. Regards !

    Rusty tank?
    Drain it. Dry it with compressed air. Slosh acetone in it to remove any oil residue dry it again with compressed air OUTSIDE as clouds of rust will be incredible.
    Fill tank completely with Evaporust. Let sit for two days.
    Drain rinse thouroughly with water immediately dry with compressed air. Tank will be like new inside.

      I really like Evaporust. Does such a great job. I use the shop vac to dry tanks. Just let it blow into the tank for 30 minutes or so. Works great hands free.

    careful inflating or freezing tanks like this. I've had two CB750 tanks that previous owner failed. When the pressure in the tank gets too high the tunnel widens and the top tin cans. The result is the tunnel is too wide to hold the frame and the crease damage on the top between the steering neck and cap is really bad.
