Consumer Description

THE FUEL TANK ON MY MOTORCYCLE IS DEFORMING DUE TO THE ETHANOL THAT IS PUT IN GASOLINE. IT HAS DEFORMED TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT SIT IN IT'S MOUNTS PROPERLY AND HAS BECOME LOOSE. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE TANK, THEY HAVE INSTEAD MODIFIED THE MOUNTS TWICE. THE TANK CONTINUES TO DEFORM AND KEEPS COMING LOOSE. DUCATI NEEDS TO MANUFACTURE A TANK THAT IS NOT AFFECTED BY ETHANOL AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TANK WITH THE NEW STYLE. *TR
