[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 442984, member: 432"] I agree. If it is a small dent and not leaking or causing any problems, I would leave it alone. It is a lot of work and risk to go beating on the aluminum trying to smooth out small dents. You risk making the area soft making it more prone to dents in the future or cracking it. Some metals get soft and some get hard when you bend them. Some refuse to bend and will break when you try to bend them. Different types of the same metal may react differently to working it.
