is it possible to repair a plastic tank?

[77south]

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.
