    Like Richard said you can cut out a hole on the unseen side of the tank and bang it out from the back if possible. What I did with an HA-10 tank was to scribe a line from the tank onto a piece of 1×2 then cut and sand it to approximate the tank radius. Put the tank on the table and GENTLY tap at the dent, rocking the tank around as needed, and take a peek at your progress every couple taps. The last thing you want is for your "inny" dent to become an "outty" Worked great for me other than the $25 to weld the rear piece back on the tank.
