I need some advice on straightening the sheet metal on this gas pump. It may be hard to tell from the picture but the sheet metal it is more oval shaped rather than round. It looks like it was laid on its side and then something fell on it flattening it. Anyway, I need some ideas and how to straighten it. I already tried using 13 ratchet straps spaced evenly from top to bottom around the circumference of the sheet metal, with the sheet metal Loosely bolted together. However, that doesn't seem to work very well. When I use the ratchet straps, the sheet metal starts to take its original form, but then what happens is it creases or Bends right where the sheet metal pieces meet together. Any advice would be appreciated.
