Try to find a way to cap off both openings on the pipe. This way, when the water freezes, it will expand and in doing so, will "force" the dent to expand back.If it is not capped, the freezing ice will simply force the remaining water out of the holes. I've done this before with mediocre results. You should check it evry two/three hours though, cause it could possibly expand more than you want it to.

I tried it also last night. I pluged it on the stinger and header attachment. It took the dent out, but cracked it on the bottom.:mad: So I wouldnt try it on a small dent, but on a near runnied one give it a shot:cool:

i would think you have to fill it up all the way for it to work, if there is air in the pipe there is space for the water to go.
