looking for a dark green gas tank

Why try to get rid of the dent? A VERY old trick (that we used to use on car bodywork) is to get rid of the paint , in & around the dent, (scraper, glasspaper etc) then fill in the dent with a 2 part filler such as "plastic padding" or even fibreglass. When it's set solid, shape it with a sander, then paint it. Might take you longer, but it's sure cheaper. We learned all these sort of things in the days when money was tight, and before the era of "built in obsolescence" :2tup:
