I've worked on dents in these tanks and lemme tell ya, the steel they made them out of is thicker than it looks. I had one that had a dent in the side so I had a local body shop use their stud welder to weld a stud on the dent to pull it out. They tried 5 or 6 times, but the studs just pulled loose before the dent moved.

I ended up just filling it in with Bondo. Just put on about 1/4 inch at a time and let it get hard before the next layer. If you try to fill it all at once, it can crack. it's been 7 or 8 years and it still looks like there was never a dent there.
