you can try to take it off take everything out of it fill it with water and freeze and keep a close eye on it it should push the dent out.........no promises but i would do it....as long as you havent dented the top to sit in cause it would pop it out to

Ask a (paintless dent repair) PDR/Hail tech. They should have a glue puller, depending on size. If I still lived in P-cola I'd give it a shot.
Call a local car dealership see who they use as a vendor for PDR.

what ever you do, dont use PDA they will **** your **** worse than what you started with. pull the fuel pump and get a wood rod wrap a towel around it and tape it, hit it with a hammer and youre golden.
