If the tank is junk try the water trick and take some pictures!

I think everbody here has seen a post of somone talking about it, but I havent heard of anybody actually proving that it was done & works. Its been a while since I took physics, but on paper it could work lol. F4i tank is 4.8gallons, water expands when frozen +9% (found rate online @ 2 sources...so that should be pretty close) so to expand the tank back to the 4.8gal you would need 91% of water volume.

.91x4.8= 4.368 gallons of water frozen.

The reason most people think this is a bad idea is water + gas doesnt really go together. Im not sure if the tanks are stainless, or coated inside, but I doubt it so you would probly have some rust to deal with. I think it would be a cool thing to try & make a post of it. Maybe start with 4.25 Gallons of h20 (4 gal 8 cups) and see what happens.

do it.


p.s. dont listen to me. Although this is a better idea than dumping the gas out, leaving some fumes and tossing a match in it to pop the dents I dont know if it will work. I wont be held responsible for any split gas tanks or freezers that smell like 91 octane. Filling the tank w/inert gas and use of a stud gun to pull the dents out would prob. be the most professional way about it, But who wants that?

i think no matter what you did its gonna crease as you start to beat on it and to get it fine tuned your gonna have to do it lil by lil thats what i did, just add some duraglass and bondo and my **** came out ****** shweet.

get a mallet, jb weld, internet w/computer and a phone book, mallet to hit the tank with start in the middle, work your way out, go at an angle in the inner sides of the dent, jb weld just in case anything cracks, phone book to look up cheap chinese for delivery, computer n interet to order a vortec gas cap

u can put the pump in, put a cap on it and put dry ice in the tank and seal it up good, it will push it back out from the pressure, just make sure that the ice is in a warm place to melt ......

whoa buddy, i need details on that, my 929 tank is kilt, crease, bent, folds, etc. could this do the fix?

PAINTRIXX

yea,and why were at it lets wave a magic wand over it ,say a lil prayer,and wish the dent out.come on hommie its a stunt bike

DECEPTICON13

theoretically it should work if u can seal it up properly...
