I used a blood pressure cuff with a squeeze bulb. Worked fine on my 1978 Honda 750. Easier to control where it is pushing. Saw it demonstrated on a TH-cam video. Great for a tank that you don't want to re paint. Yes finished of the job with a short wooden broomstick handle. Most people would never know that the tank had been dented...
I agree with last posters put a peice of rope around the tube .an the pump it up after you warmed the tank up as hot as you cani did the same thing on my tanki filled it with very hot water then pumped it up also heat gun it pushed the hot water out but it kept it warm to pop out dents . Even ones i didnt notice .After i done the tank a part on the bottom (where your nuts go) was a lot smoother i just thought it was supposed to be like that .
Went to a high end shop in Santa Cruz bitd for a tank dent. He went to his tool box and dropped in a lady fingers firecracker after water rinse. Worked great that particular dent. He joked about having only a few firecrackers left. Me and my friend brought him some to fill the one particular drawer. This was in late 80’s.
I love hare-brained schemes like this.....I must; I've engaged in a whole bunch of them.....and I have the scars. I have even put water into dirt bike expansion chambers and put in a chest deepfreeze to push out dents. Great video!! P.S. ALWAYS keep your leg under the tank when you drop it at speed on the highway!!! LOL.
Very cool! I found it difficult to place the tube exactly where needed. You definitely had a firm dent so perfection can't be the goal but nothing ventured nothing gained!
When we used to pressurise our tanks back in the day, the trick was to use a 27" mountain bike tube. You fill it to thr point where the tank is under pressure, and tap the edges of the dent with a nylon hammer. It pops out gradually as you tap and add pressure. Its not meant to pop the dent, just put some force on the inside to work with. The bike tube comes out easy too.
I had a brown K3 just like that. I bought it new for $1,550. I remember when they did the push button latch recall for the key latch. It sure brings back memories of the good ole days. Thanks.
The inner tube was a good idea. If you had used your body hammer or PDR tools around the perimeter of the dent while under pressure it may have gotten you a lot closer. It was trying to move which is always a promising sign.
I agree that better is good. Doesn't have to be perfect just better than before. I fix what jumps out at me first. I worked with a guy who said he filled his dented tank with water, sealed it up then put it on a campfire. He said it exploded with a ruptured seam, flew through the air like a missile, then landed on one of those farming, tilling things with all the disks, destroying what was left of the tank. It was quite a story! Lol.
Good tip. I probably should have put something down to protect it. I need to replace the bottom trim. One side has it and one doesn’t. Thanks for watching!
I haven't seen this technique used, but I'm thinking that a rubber plumbing test ball could be used. These devices have a Schrader valve and are designed to fill the interior of a drainpipe to force open a blocked sewage system. They are available in most any plumbing supply store, in a variety of diameters from about 1-1/4" to 6". Each is expandable to fit a range of diameters. Fill the tank mostly with water, insert a test ball and inflate with an air compressor. This will seal the ball inside the fill neck and continue to pressurize the interior of the tank, applying equal pressure to all inner surfaces and hopefully pop out the dent.
Several different ways you can go at it...heres one. Wash it out getting rid of the fumes.... take a propane torch.... induce propane into the tank' then light it with the torch....tap down eyebrows/high spots during the process. Start out with small amounts of propane increasing and repeating if necessary. I'm not suggesting you do this but that's how we did it back in the early 70's when I first started doing Auto body and paint. Back then we used acetylene/tank/torch.
Interesting how the inner tube worked, most garages would drilled and pulled the dents out, but fellow Brit suggested water and freezer sounds interesting 🤗 or could a case of 🤬
That’s a great idea. The reinforcement behind the badge was the hold up. Would have been easy breezy without it. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it!
There are kits available that pump water into expansion chambers to force dents out. Both ends of the exhaust have to be plugged. This can also be used on fuel tanks. Water doesn't compress like air, so there won't be an explosive rupture if there's a crack in the tank or a bad weld.
El Cheapo dent removal tool with glue. I have been thinking about practicing to prepare on a good deal on an appliance bargain at a scratch and dent sale. First get good on a washer or dryer, then someday - REFRIDGERATOR!!!
I really like the PDR kit I have. Not expensive and rewarding to do. Even if you don’t get the dent completely out. It’s still better than before. Thanks for watching.
Worked on my MZ50 Simpson back in the day. Id dented the top i just infront of the seat by having someone sitting on it while messing about. Hardest part was squeezing the 110/80/18 innertube in the fill. hole. Getting it out wasnt as bad as you can yank it. Did mine through a spare cap though.
@@andrewtodd3242 "A MEGA moped.. 50cc of class! Mz we're a German brand. " Well there was never a "MZ50 Simpson" so I was curious what he meant. MZ and Simson are different Brands and MZ never had a 50cc. Smallest MZs were 125cc.
I think a better more controllable method would be to seal the filler,turn the tank upside down,fill with water and pressurise through the fuel tap fitting
I am thankful Keri is willing to help me anytime. Definitely will be out riding together. I have to replace some leaky floats on her Hondamatic. Video coming soon. lol.
Think heating the area with a heat gun before adding air would of helped. I've done many dent removals in tanks with air, I just seal the gas inlet and add air to the tank with very good results.
Simply brilliant for some tanks, and I found out that apple cider vinegar will eat the rust in any gas tanker anything rusted. Put some fish tank rocks in the air and speed it up.
I had a piece of pvc pipe fall from my garage rafters and dent my triumph bonneville tank. I used a $20.00 hot glue paintless dent puller kit on it. It took several tries and some engineering,(the curve of the tank and thickness of the sheet metal were challenges) but you have to really look for the dent to see where it was now.
Maybe fill with water and seal cap with sheet of runber gasket material. Apply air pressure through gas shutoff valve. Then use body repair hot glue and maybe tap while pulling. Water is not very compressable. If the tank fails from pressure it will just spray water. If you only use air it could explode.
water would make it explode too ...if too much p, l thought..but no ...Water doesn't compress like air, so there won't be an explosive rupture if there's a crack in the tank or a bad weld.
Instead of knocking from the inside you should just apply pressure to the center of the dent whilst slapping the outer edge of the dent with a metal padle from the outside
Next time, place pressure at midpoint from the inside and then, Ding off the dolly" with a small plastic mallet. That dent would have walked right out. Do a web search for "ding off the dolly".
I picked up on that from the title but I couldn't look away. I guess this guy doesn't like to see his things 'pretty messed up' so he upgrades them to just 'messed up.'
I tried this method once and ruined a CL tank that was pristine inside. The inner tube pushed out the opposite side-wall from the dent side of the tank. The tank deformed and is ruined unfortunatley. Just want to offer my experience if others are thinking of trying this method. Cheers
The inner tube may have worked better if you would have heavely lubricated the tube with vaseline (olive oil for you fancier guys) so as to allow the tube to mate with the tank's inner surface ... Well that was my plan anyway. Regards !
I could. I just like to try to sort things out on my own. Sometimes it works. 🤣 I felt I could not make the tank any worse than what it was. Thanks for watching.
careful inflating or freezing tanks like this. I've had two CB750 tanks that previous owner failed. When the pressure in the tank gets too high the tunnel widens and the top tin cans. The result is the tunnel is too wide to hold the frame and the crease damage on the top between the steering neck and cap is really bad.
@@motorcyclerewind Both. I've seen it done and it works great on any body metal including motorcycle tanks. One more point. When I saw it done on a bike tank he put a huge stopper in the fuel fill hole and injected compressed air into the tank rather than using an inner tube like you did
Rusty tank? Drain it. Dry it with compressed air. Slosh acetone in it to remove any oil residue dry it again with compressed air OUTSIDE as clouds of rust will be incredible. Fill tank completely with Evaporust. Let sit for two days. Drain rinse thouroughly with water immediately dry with compressed air. Tank will be like new inside.
I really like Evaporust. Does such a great job. I use the shop vac to dry tanks. Just let it blow into the tank for 30 minutes or so. Works great hands free.
@@motorcyclerewind You can also use it to clean/flush rusty cooling systems. You can run it as coolant full strength then rinse /flush with distilled water.
I think using a hot glue puller is the way to go. Use a suitable custom made tool to carefully knock/help from the inside while pulling. There are many videos showing how to remove dents in cars that way.
I ripped one apart at about 30 psi. Pretty gnarly explosion. Small weak rust area in a bottom seam that was invisible. The air compresses like a spring and unloads violently.
The best way is to fill it with water and put it in a freezer... you will have to do that several times, but it does work!

that is the best method to raise a big dent and no danger of exploding anything like there is with compressed air.
Use of an electric pressure washer works the best. No risk of the tank exploding like with air.
