The problem with that is the freeze might pop things that don't need to be popped. Same problem with using high air pressure.

Yep I seen what water can do with a cast iron block...let alone thin sheet metal... probably do like a milk jug with frozen water

One way to increase a tank capacity, just fill in the blanks.
Just joking of course.

Here is one I did with studs then filled with lead. New aftermarket but I accidently dented it while modifying something else! So I wanted to make it good.
