Consumer Description

ON MOST DUCATI MOTORCYCLES WITH A PLASTIC FUEL TANK, THE TANK HAS BEEN KNOWN AND DOES INDEED DEFORM. IT IS SAID TO AFFECT MOTORCYCLES BUILT AS FAR BACK AS THEY HAVE USED A PLASTIC TANK. IT IS SAID IT IS BECAUSE OF THE ETHANOL IN FUEL SOLD HERE IN THE STATES, BUT NOW IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN IN EUROPE AS WELL. THE TANK SWELLS AND DEFORMS UNTIL IT NO LONGER WILL SEAT OR SEAL PROPERLY CAUSING A SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK. MY OWN MOTORCYCLE, A DUCATI 1098 MADE IN 2007 IS ALSO IN THIS GROUP. CURRENTLY, DUCATI SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE THE AFFECTED TANKS, BUT THEY ARE REPLACING THEM WITH THE SAME TANK, SO IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. IN ADDITION I HAVE BEEN WAITING NEARLY 2 MONTHS WITH NO WORD FROM DUCATI ABOUT THIS. *TR
