Hey guys drove the tintop zook to work last week and parked in the Breakfast creek hotel carpark.. After work I drove over one of the concrete dividers in the carpark, would that have caused the dent in the fuel tank??? 
I went over much rougher stuff in the white zook on my L's and the white zook's fuel tank does not look like that

Is it freshly scratched? |

That's nothing to worry about. I'd call that tank in good condition...
This tank has some pretty huge dents in it, and it's still fine. 
There's really only a couple of problems with dents: They reduce the capacity of the tank enough to notice, or they start to pinch off the fuel pickup in the bottom of the tank. You're nowhere near either of those being a problem. Steve. |

Mine looks similar if not worse than Steve's and it still works. |

Compressed air can be used apparently I tried hammer+piece of wood through sender hole but only succeeded in making a hole in it.

I bet you a match in the filler will knock those dents right out (please don't actually do this anyone) The front bottom half of my long ranger tank used to be flat then it would slope up to the bumper behind. Now it slopes all the way front to back. Don't know how much capacity I've lost lol. |

Mine took another few big hits after these pics were taken before it got a puncture. Even then it was fixed with some steel putty and still worked fine.

Yeah filled the zook up on friday and it took 36L, so there was probably a few L's left in the tank like every car when they reach E so I think it should be fine
