    Take it to a tank repair guy.

    Seriously. Photos and/or description of the dent would help.

    You can use a compressor and pressurize it until the dents pop out...

    or, the safer way... I made a 1" dia delrin rod, and I put it through the fuel pump orifice, and tap it to get dents popped out somewhat, then use bondo/glaze to get it perfect.
