I had the same problem with the tank on my super A. I consulted with the local automotive paint store in Spokane and they recommended Fiber Tech. It's a product used in the same way as bondo but it is full of fibers and imprgnated with Kevlar so it won't crack out over time. You can fill with this product and finish with a finish coat of bondo. This is the toughest stuff I've found for this problem. I too went through the pressurization technique and stud welder and they won't even touch the thick metal these tanks were made of. The thing that amazes me is how the previous owner ever got dents in the locations he did. THe tractor sure had a hard life but with a lot of TLC, she is coming back to life. I would like to post my work so far but am unsure of how to post a picture. One of the best techniques I found while sanding was to wrap my sandpaper around a paint stick and use it to get the right contour. My brother in law is an autobody man and taufgt me the technique, and it works great. Just take your time and keep working at it. Best of luck in getting the dent out.
