Dented rear gas tank from jack?

Me being the careless tool that I am, used a jack at the rear fuel tank as a jack point. It made a slight dent into it. Is this something that needs attention? Will it affect anything?

well if there is a dent tere will not be as much room for gas...

but as long as it does not leak you should be fine?

That's one way to create a gas tank baffle...

Jack from the differential, next time.

Not sure how it would work...but can this be fixed by paintless dent repair?

i don't know if you could fix it like that cause from what i have seen they do it with a suction cup to pull it out and i don't think it would stick on the tank,

but if they have other methods it may work
