my 2006 M620D has a crack in it right next to the latch by the ignition switch. I took it to a motorcycle shop to get the battery replaced and it cracked as they were moving the latch. I am 85% certain these guys wouldn't jerk me around and try to blame their mistake on me. So it was probably already damaged, and moving the latch cracked it wide open. I searched this thread, but could not find any information on the repair of a plastic tank. Is it possible to epoxy the crack shut? Or am I on the hook for a replacement tank?
I've used epoxy to repair chain saw gas tanks before...
but they aren't 4 gallons...
are made of a different plastic most likely...
and they weren't between my legs.
You could try. I might do the same.
Keep in mind the Ducati plastic tanks have been problematic.
You might check with a dealer to see if you're eligible for a free replacement.

Take it to a Ducati dealership for a FREE warranty replacement. Ducati just recently settled back near the end of September with the class action lawsuit. It is 5 years from the year of the motorcycle or 18 months from the end of the settlement whichever is longer.
