I'm curious about plastic and gasoline. You see, I have two plastic gas cans in my storage shed that usually have gas in them, but they don't swell or deform. I paid about $8.00 each for them at Home Depot. I have a $2000 plastic tank on my Duc, and it has more waves on it than the Pacific.


I'm sorry, wrong thread. This belongs in the DMF Joke Thread.

States could mandate it, but honestly, I think you'd still see the problem.  Ethanol exacerbates the moisture issue, but any moisture you get in the tank is going to do it.  Cool tank sitting over a hot engine means lots of condensation on the interior roof.

One of my club members just got an email from DNA that states Ducati is contracting another supplier to have the gas tanks made.
Mmmm I call bullshit

So it was a 1-on-1 (or Juan-on-Juan, as the case may be) communication, and not any type of official correspondence, like mass-mailer, etc?

If they received such a thing, then they should post it.  Otherwise, it's just BS.

No tank replacement was deemed necessary for my bike.. Ducati is having my dealership fit the "fuel tank fitting kit" specified in page 9 section C of the settlement agreement (reference http://www.girardgibbs.com/ducati-settlement-agreement.pdf) to correct for the expansion of my 2006 S2R 1000 tank. The tank is way off one of the side mounts, can not be latched in front, and is pressing upon the ignition assembly.  I'll update after this weekend with how it all fits together - I'll be surprised if the seat will fit and latch correctly after moving the tank backward.
