a) Well, I have heard of filling motorcycle tanks with water and then placing in freezer. Take a big freezer for that tank though and sometimes the water expands where you do not want it to.
b) After a tank is properly purge of gas vapors, fumes and all possible residue (not easy but it is possible but takes great care and caution), I have also heard of sealing the tank openings securely such that 6-8 PSI (or maybe 10-12 PSI) of air pressure can be pumped into the tank (install tire valve in one of the sealing plugs). Heat the damaged area with a torch and let air pressure push it back out. Not too cherry red though or air pops a hole.
c) Stud gun as already mentioned (tank still needs purged of all vapors first).
d) Drill holes use traditional dent puller then reweld holes (tank still needs purged of all vapors first).
e) Weld crude patch over caved in to somewhat fill void partially and then bondo rest of way (tank still needs purged first).
f) Cut repair section out of other damaged tank that you have and then tig weld repair section into this tank (requires purging of both tanks and likely a smidge of bondo).
g) Fill current void with huge mass of Bondo (no purging required).
h) Leave it as it is.
I) Find another tank (easiest and best option)
