Hi Folks,
This is Dan, let me show you step by step on how I build stuff each week including my CB750 Cafe Racer & the (Honda Scrambler/Tracker build on a budget challenge) SUBSCRIBE to follow my future builds, I'm based in Australia.

Good call on box opening, everyone has opened a box before and knows how its done
I just inflate them to put pressure the dent from the inside and tap with a body hammer to exite the metal around the edges working my way in.
Yeap. This was just horrible to see😆
I've had people tell me it potentially could blow out the pinch seams on some old tanks. What PSI do you recommend?
@@eg39701 I actually cant say how much but I CAN say that I use small pulses of pressure rather than trying to blow it up so to speak. Just like when pulling a dent, dont go for it all at once but rather little efforts to work the metal back where you want. 👍🏻 You just want to see the tank sides move a tad so you know there is pressure on the back and then use your body hammer around the dent to excite the metal to incentivize it to move back to it original position.
Seen videos on youtube of it being done with a modified bike inner tube. Seemed to work great, and of course is also cheap..
Thank You for Video 👍
The thing with Vevor, at least from my experience, is from all the Chinese tool brands, this wouldn’t disappoint on build quality and functionality wise also not too bad. For professional use I wouldn’t be able to say anything as I’m not one, but for crafting and DIY, I cannot complain. And they don’t break the bank either.
Thanks mate
Repaired lots of bike and boat tanks. Often faster just to cut the bottom out, can get inside with an English wheel. Other item I use is an Inflatable Door Airbag/Wedge.
Parabéns pela apresentação do processo de reforma e apresentação técnica Abraços Daniel Dmotos aqui do Brasil.
I would have tried some compressed air first. It wouldn't get the little ones out but larger side ones would pop . When I restored a Z900 A4 kawasaki the tank had 2 golf ball sized dents on the sides where the wrong handle bars were fitted and they hit the tank. A old local fella popped them out with his special tools he uses through the filler hole. He did a perfect job, not an oz of filler.
You ever watch those guys from India taking dents out of tanks while sitting at the side of the road, wearing flip flops and using a shaped piece of bar ???????
Nice review Dan, looks like it gets the job done. Dan with your tig welder, as the fan runs constantly is it noisy ? As I am looking at purchasing one . Ride safe and take care. Cheers
Yes it has a fan that runs non stop keeping the machine cool
Seen someone do dentless paint repair on tanks and seems cheaper to do but needs more effort.. but I guess if you add bodyfillers paint and polish its the same effort but dentless repair seems better..
You can do this very simply, if the dent isn't creased, by making a plug for the fuel can and sealing off the fuel taps. In the plug fit a car tyre valve or similar so you can add air via a hand pump. The plug will need to be clamped so it doesn't pop off. Assuming the tank is thoroughly cleared of petrol, oil, etc so no explosive fumes are generated gently heat the dent to red heat with a gas torch (butane or propane) and build up air pressure (not to much or the tank may go out of shape or split a seam) to lift the dent. This doesn't work in all cases but most dents can be removed sufficiently well.
Great idea thanks for sharing mate
A handy machine if you're do doing a lot of bodywork 👍 Can it be used as a spot welder?
Thanks mate, no its not really designed for spot welding I don't think
set it under pressure and use the gluepuller
I have no experience with this but I feel that aiming for the middle and with very light pulls work it out slowly and not go all over it like that. And the key is going slow so you don't get the sharp outward dents. Also the use of a gas torch might help to anneal the area to be pulled, like the edges of the dent where you have a lot of resistance.
Another method is to cut open the inside of the tank to get a hand and tools inside. Evan Wilcox builds and also repairs polished aluminium tanks, he almost daily share his work in short videos and explain what he does and the thought process.
My comments have been filtered by youtube in the past when I try to refer to Evan and I guess it's certain keywords that does it. For anyone interested he's on "margatsni" if you read it backwards.
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback
I go to a PDR specialist, I'm handy but not that handy
Hi, I’m in Ipswich and from watching your channel I have started a CB750 cafe racer with a super moto fork conversion.
How do I get a roadworthy?
In Queensland?
Thanks mate. You will need to follow the laws on bike mods, you can find this on Qld Tran website
For all the people with cafe racer builds experience, what would be a good first build for a beginner? HELP PLEASE 🤠
Great video's btw💪 keep it up🤟
Hey mate, Id say something popular like a Japanese bike, Honda CB ir simulator are easy to work on just depending on the cc size you want
Yeah , Look up paintless dent repair . There are tons of videos on youtube.
A dentist are you? 🙂 On tanks from bikes with injection, there's a big hole at the bottom, for the pump. Stick something in to hold against when tapping with a hammer on the outside. I did that on a bike I had a few years ago. A brand new Honda CB650R I modified a bit.
Really nice looking machine, but boring engine. 🙂
Thankyou mate :) Always learning we are
No website available? Shop closed?
Currently working on a new one
Hi, good job. You should remember to never do this on a non-degassed tank.
I’ve done two tanks by filling them with water and freezing them.
That sounds very interesting. How do you go about getting the dents out once the water is frozen?
The water freezing expanding pushes it out. I can only imagine it deforms the whole tank.
Your website doesn't work
Currently working on a new one, stay tuned its going to be awesome

No Idea how many pounds are in a kilo I know how much cocaine is in a kilo though lmao
This guy sounds New Zealand rather than Aussie.
