best not too pop out the dents, or you weaken the metal, and risk cracks forming. christover

You can pump up the tank with compressed air, but with any really folded over dents you'll weaken in like chris said.
leave it till it leaks then buy another one and put some armour on before you go offroad.
thats what I had to do with my Vit :(

Save your time and money for a fuel cell when the tank is dented beyond repair.
(I have a spare tank if your interested)
Keeping the tow bar and running something back to the floor b4 the tank should protect it.
