Re: How to fix a dented tank?

[jim-moffatt]

The dent can be easily pulled out. Remove the vent screw from the cap. Replace it with a 2 foot piece of 1/4-20 threaded rod. then put cast iron pipe around it held on with saveral large fender washers. Put the cap on the tank. You can then straighten the cap fitting by using the pipe as a lever. Then use a slide hammer to pull it with back up with support washers under the plastic cap. The aliuminum is soft and with care you shouldn’t damage the cap.
