Removing dents with ice ???

[Doc]

Used ice to reduce and soothe lumps on thick head before .... nearly the same thing sorta ? maybe?  On petrol tanks etc bull..............

I just tried using ice to remove dents, ended up talking no stop to the tank for a few hours, did a bit of dancing and then punched on with the mig welder

Give to the myth busters . I vote no .

A mate filled his WR450F header with water (that had a big dent) and after leaving it in the fridge overnight came out good. Doen it again and nearly all came out.

[pokey]

It does work buttt, only for small pressure dents that air will pop out faster.

 tried it on a chamber once . In the chest freezer  over night and some of the dents popped out  before it blew the plugs out.

Water expands as it freezes  then contracts as it gets colder. Bit is, you have little or no control over the ice method where as with air  you have a bit more control and add heat and u can remove larger dents

[OSSA PHANTOM]

 This works but you cannot seal the tank or pipe, leave one end of the pipe uncapped or the tank  vented, fill it completely full stick it in the freezer. If you complete seal off the unit when the ice expands
it can pop the welded seams

[Doc]

mmm, I reckon it will work too Ossa. I wouldn't think sealing the tank would be in the best interests and the control of this method could be had by controlling the amount of ice within and the directional forces it applies by the way the tank is positioned in the freezer. I still haven't got around to trying it an RL tank is much longer than I'd anticipated one can imagine what a crumpled mess the tank would look like if it were sealed and the ice allowed to melt oops :'(

[Quicksilver]

Dont do it Doc................. Totally f*&ks the tank. I have a CR250m tank some clown tried this with. Damn thing wont even sit down over frame. Oh yeah it looks good and straight. Just useless except as a wall mounted display peice. It all puffed up. The passage in centre of the tank where frame sit has closed up a fair bit. It also leaks petrol around the welded seams.

The correct way to remove dents with ice

[Lozza]

What's the coke to bourbon ratio, looks slightly richer than the recommended 20:1   In a schooner glass I suppose church and school is out so it about that time. 

 

[GMC]

The ratio is always a hard one to nail, it always seems to get richer as the night goes on

[4RoBs]

Hey Geoff, was the coke used to polish the header pipe after the dent came out???

No way rob, it's too expensive. I know Mythbusters did a show on this but it's much cheaper to clean things with petrol as it's cheaper than coke & bottled water (go figure).
