Bought another I/S Had a 2" cup dent in gas tank about 1/4" deep looked like someone hit with knee. Tried everything I could think to pull it out, dry ice, compressed air,suction cups,etc. Pretty much gave up, I was sitting in chair looking at this 2" crater when I glanced up above the bike and on my shop wall something caught my attention the ear muffs that attach to my party hut pontoon outboard that you connect waterhose to. Took the suction cup off the side that does not have hole in it, it has a very large niple which the others did not, anyway I wet the edge stuck it over the dent and could not pull it off so I applied my needle nose vice grips to the nipple had to brace one hand against seat and started pulling finally the cup popped off and no more dent surprised the hell out of me. One happy camper. Tank looks like new. 2funny 2funny 2funny 2funny 2funny 2funny
