Too bad gas tanks aren't like ping pong balls.. toss a dented one into some boiling water and voila!

why wouldn't it work? fill it 3/4 of the way full with water, if it has a good sealing cap put that on, and make sure to plug all the other lines reeal good, and let it boil. eventually enough pressure would build up and it should pop.

Talkin out my ass, and it is only theory, but it never hurts to try.

Heat it up really good then blast it with cold air. Like a fender dent.

You'd probably have to weld it up to get that good of a seal.
