Repairing a sucked in tanker

[onesiedale]

So,.not an all out disaster, more of an embarrassment that I would like to put right.
Any tips pushing the top of my little milk tanker back out again. It was sucked in because started pumping out without opening the lid

Put an air line fitting on a give is some with th3 compressor

From a distance and please video it and upload it for us

Would be much safer to fill with a fluid (such as water) and a small pump with a gauge as you’d have much more control over the pressure. Probably wouldn’t need that much force to get it to pop out and much less chance of an explosion!
Slightly different but when I use to straighten pushed in/dented motor cross exhaust I’d blank one end then put some pressure in, then heat the pushed on areas with the gas until they start to push back out. Obviously you have a far to bigger area to start heating with a gas axe though.

But doing it on a hot day ( might be waiting a while), in the sun might help.

Fill it with water then attach a pressure washer to it,
Run the pressure washer till it pops out

Stick a fence post inside it

attach chain to fence post

lift and shake with tractor and loader

Please don’t, at least not without taking most of the volume up with liquid first.

Another vote for the pressure washer. Low volume, lots of control.

I find the IBC's so much more forgiving when you do that.

It only took 14.6 psi to do that so as above fill with water, pump out preferably with water and be careful. Using air you have a bomb and potential shrapnel.

Claim a new one on the insurance, easier and better than claiming for new workshop/compressor and powerwasher when it all blows up, not to mention life insurance.

theres is no way pressure is going to blow that out striaight, it will want to push out the flat panels before the creases

get a dwarf stick them in it turn it upside down and get them to jump up and down on it

Fill with water and may find the hose has enough presser to pop it out

Ibcs pop out if you fill them really fast with a slurry tanker and water

Can’t see what the rest of the tank is like, but with that shape of the top now, pressurizing the tank might push out another panel, lifting with the chain through the lid or putting a bottle jack inside seem more sensible.

IBCS have a steel frame around them to stop another part of the tank popping out.

Add yeast, malt and hops to the water and leave in the sun. The fermenting brew will push the panel out and you can draw off ale into bottles.
