let my ask this...
could it be due the charcoal canister?
i mean the went hose is directed into it right,when my tank got deformed it had the canister installed.
i got the tank replaced and the canister is gone.haven't had a problem yet.
maybe the canister prohibit it to went and the pressure is the cause for deformation

that's a good question, and a good way to test it would be to find non-USA bikes using the same crappy fuel.

i removed my canister setup less than a month after getting the bike.  maybe 2 weeks and i put probably 500-600 miles on the bike in that time.

Seems to be related to age of tank- please keep us informed on the new one.
Interresting to note from the other board- US spec. tanks are different than the rest of the world- due to emission standards.
And my charcoal canister was the first thing I pulled w/in a week of ownership.

i am not aware that this is true.  the parts catalogue for the '05 monster (s2r) lists the same number for the tank, but denotes US-spec parts (like charcoal canister and side reflectors)

I  haven't noticed any problems with my tank yet, but then I've got a full tail chop.  Maybe the tank is jealous and wants to be as ugly as the stock rear fender/tail thingie.   cheeky

I have noticed the warpage on others bikes now that maybe haven't noticed yet. The dark bikes really show the warps well. Check out the knee cutout on the bike in the photo (not my picture, found it on bikes of DML). For some reason though, it seems that the right knee cutouts warp before the left knee cutouts.

Ducati will warranty the tank under its emission control. Which i believe is 12,000 miles or 5 years. But it all lies within your dealer to see if they really care. My dealer is over an hour away, and my new tank is on its way to be installed (my bike is out of the standard warranty). Will it warp again? dunno, probably. But hey, a new tank is still a new tank.

will anyone who gets a new tank coat the inside before putting in gas?

is there any reason to think that would not help or otherwise be a problem?
