Sharp Deep Crease Motorcycle Gas Tank Dent Repair PDR

A super sharp and deep crease. A difficult area on a gas tank to repair. www.denttime.com and www.denttrainer... presents a partial tutorial on how to remove a deep dent crease on a motorcycle gas tank.

First tried this sort of thing thirty years ago on a mates Honda 4 tank, with improvised tools through the fuel cap hole. It had half a dozen ugly dents in it and got them all out no problem without damaging the paint.

Good video, you work very well and beautiful setup. Your are a good reference for a pdr tech.

[@loknlode]

Good videos. I'm in the middle of resurrecting an '05 Softail Springer and the tank has a dent a good 6" in diameter. Damn near a perfect circle. It's not too deep, but it's got lots of surface area and a couple of creases. I'm considering buying these tools.

Steven S. I'm not trying to be impolite but don't try doing this yourself. PDR especially on tanks is like performing plastic surgery on your own nose. Hire a professional. it will be better and cheaper if you attempt your self.

[@woodensailone]

I like his sense of humor 👍🏻

[@igorxa]

What would a job like this normally cost? I've got a similar crease in my tank and I'm trying to decide if it's just better for me to buy this other matching tank I found. I don't possess the tools, skills, or time to do this sort of work myself.

Excelente... Un saludo desde Venezuela...!!!

[@jk-dr3ru]

crease dents r significantly easier and look way smoother when the light is set up farther away and going the same direction as the crease

[@kidda74]

Bike tanks are tough aren't they, so much thicker than a car panel. Great job!

[@Iron_Thunderstorm]

What a coincidence, I have a Roadstar (Warrior) with a deep dent in that exact same spot. My dent is more of a circle

[@Koloherides]

Fill with water put cap on freeze dent gone. Hawaii istyle

[@bhcoleman76]

For real

[@charlesmartelinhodeouromar8058]

Tem como você fazer um vídeo do suporte do tanque.

[@BillySBC]

You guys and roadside fortunetellers man... If someone wants to believe then they'll believe, am I right?

[@Thatonedude1979]

Man nice work. I've Ben wanting to get into motorcycle PDR it is definitely a market that's pretty untouched where I'm at. Where can I find more info on classes specifically for motorcycles. I'm already a PDR tech but I only work on cars

[@denttime]

You can email me from my website denttime.com or learningpdr.com and I'll be happy to offer you the information. Thank you.

[@Thatonedude1979]

Will do thanks

[@ericwilkes238]

Make a mold of the other side of the tank that is not dented put a tube in the mold let setup take it off and put it over the dent and pull a vacum it might pull the dent out.

[@ericwilkes238]

Short of like crushing a 55 gallon drum wit vacum only opposite.

[@pbowns]

In order to pop a dent out you have to go past the point of where the metal was previously. Spring back means that you have to 'over bend' the material. Just pulling it back into its original state is not enough stress.

[@BrandonSmith0626]

Can you use PDR for boat dents?

[@vasudevbhat8858]

Super cool tip thank you

[@aviinc6476]

Its a light trick, and done with mirrors. Some people like listening to them self

[@denttime]

AVI inc haha thanks for the compliment but no magic tricks here.

[@pagansunburn470]

The only "trick" in PDR work is actually knowing what you are doing, which sounds like you know nothing about. PDR takes time, patience, and experience to do properly which Dent Time apparently has and so do many other PDR workers.

[@robertpolkamp]

I would rather pay someone but can't find competent repair shops

great job

[@MichaElLopez-xe1kt]

HI MYKE IS THERE ANY CHANCE WE COULD USE GLUE PULLER JUST TO LOOSEN THE DEEPNESS OF THE DENT ON EVERY TANKS?

[@denttime]

definitely!

[@denttime]

let me correct that, on Harley tanks you cannot glue pull because the clear coat is too thick it will rip off

[@MichaElLopez-xe1kt]

oh so the clear will be damage as we pulled right? well thats very helpful Myke!!! thanks God bless

[@fproszek]

The dent gave it personality.

[@markmcminn5100]

[@markthorne3414]

I had a Classic Triumph Tank, you want to try fixing that,

[@denttime]

Mark Thorne sure visit my website denttime.com and send me some photos. thanks

[@nicksrc908]

In essence, your taking the memory out of the metal.

[@denttime]

Opposite. I’m restoring memory back into the metal. 😉 Thanks for watching.

420-DENT 👌🏼

[@rushpinson3893]

i can tell you how the best way to get dents out , use a inter tube, put it in tank and put air in it and the tube will take the dent out

[@denttime]

Haha

[@1-shotslinger108]

Dude that is a great trick .Gotta try that one.

[@indysandmanas]

And the tank won't fit on bike

[@vassabyvassaby3888]
