986 fuel tank

leroy cronin	i am looking at a 986 international to buy it has a sucked in fuel tank dealer said this is common vent plug and tank suck in. is this true,can you use air pressure to pop it back? how much is a use tank. thanks
MGS	Yes, it's a common problem. I've never tried to pop one back out and I've never had anyone replace the tank, they jut live with the collapsed tank.
jim	I've often been tempted to try blowing them back into shape some what anyway but I would use a very long air hose and a regulator to very gradually increase the pressure. I would bet someone , somewhere has tried it. I guess I would not try it until I had another tank lined up for replacement if it doesn't turn out.
