    gas tank

    If you plan on painting it a body shop could use a stud gun to pull it out, I don't know what you would use to seal the gas cap hole tight enough to hold the air pressure that would require, by the way is there a good way to patch holes in a tank?

    dry ice in a towel if the dent is not creased or too big but be careful you ca burn the paint if you hold it on there too long

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    This is a good sized dent from the fork hitting it.

    I also have a dent in my big red tank. When it was a farm machine, a cow got mad one day and kicked the trike right over my uncle
