so the lawsuit? any of you guys?

I just think he's not including enough people.
The government for mandating ethanol
The lobbyist for pushing it
The ethanol producers for damages to the tanks and systems
The stations that didn't refuse it or offer options

You can't sue those people. Ducati is the low hanging fruit.

They make an injected and a carbed model...there's more??  Huh?

The pump from the S*R versions is different. More like SBKs that mount on the flange. I don't think it will slip right in to the bracket in an earlier steel tank. Also the pressure regulator is in the tank/flange like the SBKs. You'd have to add an external one like on the pre plastic tank models.

So what I'm thinking is that no one makes a direct replacement tank made of aluminum, steel, iron, copper, or bronze.  Sounds like a direct replacement tank made of metal really is unobtanium.

I don't think so.

You would still need the flange to block off the hole...

the flange comes with a pump and all the goodies for about $1800.

Anyone with the startup capital and willingness to go into fabrication could make some bank - especially if they could get Ducati to license them as DP parts.

i didn't see on the site where it said if the monster tank had the flange style fuel pump, or the older. i assumed not.

which doesn't mean i am right....

so no one is making a metal tank that you can direct swap all the parts from the plastic tanks?
