Fuel/Propulsion System · at 3,050 miles · reported May 11, 2013
Gas tank reacting with ethanol in fuel creating a condition where the tank distorts from original shape and fall off its mounts. This creates a condition where the tank interferes with the steering of the motorcycle and another condition where the tank wears on the frame and may produce tank failure with fuel leakage onto engine and exhaust system.... No response at all from ducati dealership regarding issue, the replacement tank that is available is the same as original and an aftermarket aluminum tank replacement costs $2700 plus paint, decals and fitting, another $800. Total $3500, this is…
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 13,000 miles · reported Oct 19, 2012
The gas tank deformed so much that instead of a three point fit, it is now only held in place by the bolt right in front of the seat. The tank can easily be lifted up on the front of the bike. The tank has also developed 'dimples' on the surface (As in large 'dent'). Basically the tank is collapsing. This will be the third gas tank replacement for this bike. Ducati covers it under warranty. However, it is guaranteed that this issue will re-occur. Currently the only solution is to have the new tank coated by a third party. The cost for this is not covered by ducati (Approx. $300) and this…
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 400 miles · reported Apr 1, 2012
The gas tank has spread / swelled. You can pick the gas tank up off of the frame because the clips no longer hold it in place. Also, when you turn the handlebars from the left to the right the rub into the gas tank. The tank also has bubbles forming in paint from the spread / swell. As of 4/1/2012 dealer stated ducati north america is refusing to replace tank under class action lawsuit.
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 3,279 miles · reported Feb 8, 2012
The gas tank has deformed in such a way as to detach itself from the factory mountings and now interfere with the front forks as to impair full range of steering. The tank is now resting on the wiring harness and frame of the motorcycle as to cause possible wear through of harness or tank, . If the tank leaks from its wear points it will leak fuel directly onto the engine. And electrical short between frame and gas tank needs no further description..
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 10,000 miles · reported Apr 29, 2011
Fuel tank expansion loosens tank where it can come off easily. This tank was already replaced 1 1/2 yrs ago & while I just noticed it, I wasn't aware of what to look for until visiting dealer & other customer inspected my tank to compare to his. Apparently mine had been spreading for some time prior. Dealer has said ducati had bracket & will install at no charge. My concern is tank integrity from spreading.
