AFTER SEVERAL TANK REPLACEMENT BY DUCATI THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. TANK KEEPS SWELLING AND PUTS STRESS ON THE LATCH SO THAT IT CAN'T BE UNLATCH TO GET TO THE BATTERY OR FOR SERVICE . TANK ALSO DOESN'T SIT FIRM ON FRAME AT PIK SWELLING TIME . TANK ALSO LEAKS FUEL AT BOTTOM AROUND SEAL WHILE SWELLING IS AT MAX. FUEL GOES ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND FLOOR .DEALER SALES K 100 FUEL ADDITIVE FOR ETHANOL PROBLEMS SINCE DUCATI PERSIST ON NOT CHANGING TANK FOR A IMPROVED MATERIAL. *TR
