Consumer Description

MY 2007 DUCATI S4RS MOTORCYCLE FUEL TANK SWELLED TO THE POINT IT WAS NOT RESTING SECURELY ON THE FRAME, THE BARS WOULD CONTACT IT BEFORE FULL LEFT OR RIGHT TURNING MOVEMENT, IT PUSHED AGAINST THE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSING THE FUEL TANK LATCH TO NOT ENGAGE, AND THE PAINT CRACKED OFF. DUCATI UNOFFICIALLY CLAIMS (LEARNED FROM MY DEALER) THAT ETHANOL IN AMERICAN GAS IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR FUEL SEEPAGE AND FIRE ALONG WITH THE TANK BECOMING DISLODGED WHILE RIDING. *TR
