Re: gas tank bondo
fuuk bondo--Dupli Color spray on Bedliner. 7 dollars per can:
Here's the BEFORE picture. Make sure you romove all the paint in the dent then tape it off and spray away. I used 4 coats and still had 3/4 can left.

Re: gas tank bondo
use whats called metal to metal its a type of bondo that has small itty bitty metal shards in it. holds up really nice. fiberglass isnt ment to be used on metal it can still chip and come off even if it does look good.

metal to metal is good stuff. A guy I know used this to shave two bumpers together on his truck. He hit a wall and he claims that the metal to metal didnt crack or break. Bondo will only crack if the metal flexes alot. Fiberglass was really ment for fiberglass. Doesnt bond with metal too great.

Re: gas tank bondo
Getting ready to bondo the **** out of my f4i tank..
Will post pics when done..
I should have just done a rear dent on my tank, but I tried to dent it forward, and got a couple nasty creases near the front... Gonna bondo over them and bondo the front in so its like factory, with a rear dip.

Re: gas tank bondo
I have a ton of bondo on my tank.
I haven't had any problems yet. I just make sure to prep the surface real well, and took my time doing it. don't glob it on there an inch think, instead be patient and layer it on over time, letting it dry and sanding inbetween each layer.
