GT 250 tank I used a 16” bicycle tube I picked up at dollar store. Shoved the whole tube into side with dent. I should have heated tank a little in sun or with heat gut but thank God the dent popped out just as the tube popped! Looks much better now. 👍 Thanks for the great idea.

This is genius! I have just purchased TWO 2012 Honda CBR250r motorcycles. The red one has a sizeable but not creasing dent in the right side of the tank, plus it is fuel injected so it has a sizeable entrance hole in the bottom of the tank tank for the fuel pump. i can see now this is going to WORK...Thanks...Al

Good idea but it's better if you have tank mounted on the bike then pressured. The pressure sometimes makes other parts of the tank expand. This will make a hard time fitting tank back on the bike. Found out the hard way.

Very inventive way to approach dent removal. Often warming the metal helps encourage the metal to move more easily. I have a dent in a rear quarter panel to remove when the weather warms up and was thinking of using an air wedge. After seeing your technique, I’m going to copy it and use an inner tube and my compressor. Thanks for making this video.

just use a whole tube , and use the valve and stem complete , no need for the messing about , just get on with it. the valve stem will stick out the hole and work fine works well on door skins too , but it can move the whole panel so take care , but its still better than a dent , works really well on big soft dents.

Impressive demo, but I couldn't help wondering whether it was really necessary to cut that section out of the tube? Presumably it would be much harder to get the tube in and out of the tank if you didn't? Also, good point about doing it with the bike in situ, on the bike, to avoid expansion in the wrong places and making it impossible to refit! Finally, you've written 'technik' when you obviously mean *technique*.

That was a heavy duty motocross tube. Some times for worse smaller dents I use a small rubber foot ball. Sometimes It doesn't work on really creased dents. Works best on shallow dents like on the nighthawk tank in the video. Some of it depends on how heavy of metal the tank was made out of.

@@Amotorcyclenut I bought heavy duty and yes it’s way stronger and thicker than the once I used before. It’s so thick that I had problems tightening the ends. It did straighten the tank a bit but it doesn’t have the final push to pop it out and I’m not trying to preserve the paint at all. Will try again tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the respond

I have a GS1000 tank with a dent in the side on the forward cheek, the widest part. I am going to brace the arch with wood and fill with water and use a hydraulic hand pressure test pump to help push it out, I may use a glue on puller at the same time, but this sure is a good idea with the tube.

Drill a couple of holes in the tank . Using a slide hammer pull out the dents in the regular manner. Fill up the tank 95% with water then close the tank cap . Turn the tank dent side upward . Now braze over the holes. Now, with file(s) shape the brazed area to the desired contour . Wa La ! you have just repaired your tank !
