2007 ducati sport 1000s - gas tank has been deformed. It no longer sits properly in the mounting points on the side. It has expanded beyond the point of sitting properly in the mounting points in the front. The tank now rests unsecured on the frame and will shift and teeter from side to side while the bike is in motion.

Fuel System, Gasoline · at 18,671 miles · reported Nov 17, 2011

The fuel tank on my motorcycle has spread and distorted enough that it has fallen off the frame of the motorcycle. While riding the motorcycle at normal highway speed, wind will actually lift the fuel tank up and the rider must hold it in place so it does not separate completely from the vehicle.

Fuel System, Gasoline · at 2,500 miles · reported Sep 7, 2011

Fuel tank is spreading and is now loose on it's mounts. Possible for it to lift at the front of the tank. This is unsafe as it could come loose while driving/riding and cause a serious accident or loss of control. Also poses a risk of having fuel leaking either while riding or parked which I could be fined for. This is a defect that is just being patched up and not rectified by ducati. Numerous attempts have been made to have this problem solved by myself and others with the same problem. Leaking fuel is also a serious environmental issue as well.

Fuel System, Gasoline · at 1,900 miles · reported Aug 28, 2011

Fuel tank (Plastic) has swollen ond no longer attaches to the frame of the motorcycle on the sides. Tank may come off in an accident or perhaps riding. This could be very serious with fire, injury, loss of control.
