    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have enclose 3 snaps of my 79 gs850 gas tank. {Hopefully they will show up } Anyways , Im wondering if anyone knows how to get these dents out? I was wondering if i could go in thru the filler neck and pound them out? Is the sleeve in the filler neck removable? Unless i can remove it , i wont be able to pound them out?
I have received alot of great answers to my questions in the past , and again would like to thank everyone for that , as well as the excellent advice I'm sure to receive on my latest inquiry....

and the last pic,,, sorry havent figured out how to attch more than 1 file at a time..........
 
Boy, those are ugly. They're gonna be hard to repair, especially the left side where the emblem goes. A stud gun would be my advice, but it'll never get em all the way. Pull them (or have a body shop pull them for you) as far as you can w/o pulling them too far, then fill with a good quality body filler. It might be easier in the long run to look for another tank.
 
definetly a stud gun with a slide hammer will get those out. but at what cost? if you could rent a stud welding gun and the slide hammer id say get at it but if you have to take it to a body shop it would be cheaper to get a new one
 
Guys thanks for all the advice , i think i will start looking for a new used tank ... Saw a few on E - bay ... And will look into other sources as well .....
Now if I could just get the timing right , some blinkers {all 4 } , and some clip ons or
clubmans , She'd be ready to roll .....Perhaps by tomorrow I'll have most of it back together and will post a couple shots of it .

Thanks again for all the great help Ive received on here...
