Default Fuel Tank

So I was off roading one day, and happened to bottom out on a rock and a dented my gas tank pretty good. I was wondering if there was a way to remove this dent. I will post pics as I get them but, it pretty much made my 18 gallon tank into a 15-16 gallon tank (economical [sm=smiley2.gif]). No leaks though, thank God.

Any suggestions post here, thanks.

Dented the plastic tank?? Hmm. You may be able to pop it out by smacking the side of the tank...

Nope this tank is definately steel, so I am not sure if there is a way to pound it out or what not, I don't really want to pay someone to weld **** to it and then pull it out, but it may be what I end up having to do, unless this would make the tank not durable enough, in which I would find a junker or see what a new tank costs.

Hmm.. Thought they made the switch to poly in '98... Are you sure it isn't just a shield under it?
