You may find someone to take the dent out,but it will still have to be sprayed.

Mikey is it like this
I was just going to clean it up and seal it with any gash paint I have, then try and push it out
the best I can by accessing it from the fuel tap opening, filling if I need too, but it does look
badly creased, but if I see a cheap dink free tank I will probably try and get it, at the moment I am not bothered
about a colour scheme at present so its vauxhall corsa chav racing colours (ie every panel is a different colour)
as i would rather ride while the weather is good up here

I've pulled dents out like that before.
Weld a small tack onto the tank and pull it out. Small layer of filler and paint just make sure its all keyed well else the filler will come away.

dent improver kit ? got one in garage i used on the the door skin of my wifes old punto a while back with good results its a kinda wax stick thing and pull cord unsure if it would be any good on a tank though being heavier gauge steel than the fiat door. you can also get a small suction type cup a bit like the tool glassfitters use for holding screens but again might only work on flat light gauge stuff.
might be worthwhile taking tank to a car bodyshop or the likes of mr dent or similar they might have some paintless dent remover tools .
