It has a dent in the bottom and while it isn't considered hazardous, any stressing of the plastic structure might cause more rapid deterioration over the years, so it has to be replaced. I'll get it back next week and will see how it handles. It has been a mad couple of weeks. Just backing into a concrete block that I couldn't see and that the reversing sensors didn't pick up is going to cost me a £300 excess and the insurers £2500!
The fuel tank is pretty rugged more than 3mm thick , a hot air gun would probably allow the original shape to restore .
