There are a few videos on Youtube. Basically heat the dent up with a hair dryer. Buy some keyboard duster & flip the can upside down & spray it on. Then pray it works. 
I'm not too confident it will work. While my dent is not as bad as the pictured one above, I think the metal will be too thick for it too actually pop out. ?
I am going to try before going to a PDR place. Luckily I have one in town. & Luckily I didn't damage my paint.

i would not use a heat gun!!!! gets way to hot and you risk unseating the paint... use a blow dryer unless you have alot of exp with a heat gun and it has a low ramp temp...

Hey JRK. What do you think my chances are popping this one out w/ the hair dryer / freon?
Ooh. Look you can see my rigged front turn signals I just did !
(lol. Ignore the wiring...that's winter time stuff)

man that is going to be tuff to get a dent that large and deep out of side of the tank but hell man give it a try, cost prob 8 bucks and take 15 min... you may have better luck with paintless dent removal on that if you remove your dash and center section... if all else fails we are more than happy to help

OK, I just watched some of those videos on you tube. It looks like it works well for sheet metal on cars but I don't know about the thick metal of a gas tank?
Has anyone actually done this on a gas tank?

That's my thoughts Gov..... I honestly don't think it's going to work. Some people had a hard time w/ the thin metal bodies on cars.
I'm glad mine isn't too noticeable. (well it is if you look.lol) It's winter time as well. I'll save my pennies & go get it done.

I had a very large dent on left side of my tank. let me tell you that tank is THICK. unispot machine and slide hammer does nothing just pops the pin off. unispot welds a pin onto the dent so you can grap it with a slide hammer and pop the dent out. clip the pin with side cutters then grind the rest off for those of you who dont know what it is.
