Well my replacement tank that is all of 3 months old is swollen up just like the old one - wtf!?
I knew they were the same tanks, but 3 months? come on...
Oh and I've barely read any of this thread... I guess I should have been more on top of things.
I took it by the dealer and they took some pics - do you think it will be replaced by Ducati again?
Sucks but that may mean selling the bike if there's no resolution... and the multistrada I was looking at has the same issue too - nice.
read up on here... the only sort of fix there is right now...

If you got a replacement tank, what is the date of manufacture?
You find it on the underside, it looks like this:

Got mine replaced in Nov of 10 with a tank made in May:
I didn't see an inspection stamp. Where should it be hiding?

Does the date matter? Have they changed anything? Hope so. I've got about 3 months on my THIRD tank and so far no problemo.

For me, it mattered because it shows there is no new formulation being used.
For the record, my bike color is "Acid Yellow" which was only offered in 2005, but I am surprised they would still send out a tank that was made in 2005 (and before my original tank was made).
I am curious if others were getting newly-made tanks.

I put in for a replacement 3 or 4 weeks ago. Still awaiting aprovement from Ducati. Dealer agreed that it had expanded and bubbled. Can I contact DNA to expedite this?

Yes, you can, but I would wait a while longer before doing that.
A lot of it is just the Italian side being slow. Dealer and DNA can't change that. My tank took 4 months.

Ducatiz- that sucks on toast. Was that a tank one you treated with caswell?
Got 4 months on my new one so far, best of luck, I guess.

I just filed a claim with my local Duc dealer for tank #3. The second tank didn't even last a year before it started to move around. The asked me to trailer the bike for the initial tank inspection because I would've been over 15,000 miles if I had ridden the bike there.
I should know something in a few weeks but I doubt I'll have any trouble getting another tank..
Like I said, the second tank isn't even a year old yet. It's not smashing up against the ignition ring yet but it's very close to touching. There are also small lump forming on the knee pockets on both sides of the tank. Funny, the original tank didn't start to move for at least two years.
Since my S4RS is white I'm assuming that I'll be getting a newly constructed tank but will post up the date of manufacture to keep the list posted.
Cheers
I

i'm finally getting in to the dealer on my tank, hopefully they'll replace it... i'm not letting them keep my bike though.
if worse comes to worse, i'm getting a CA-Cycleworks track tank.
I don't want to have to deal with this again.

+ one on the CA Cycleworks tank. I've already had my tank replaced once, and I didn't coat the 2nd tank with Caswells. Why pay $200.00 for coating when I can buy a new tank with a lifetime guaranty for $500.00?

Anything I need to know before going to the dealer to see about getting the tank taken care of? (2nd owner, '06 M620 - not sure if still in warranty, but figured I'd check). The tank on the wife's monster is mashed against ignition quite badly. I fabbed up a bracket to move the tank rearward just at tiny bit so the key can actually turn (it was jammed tight enough that the key was stuck), but can't go very far 'cause then the seat won't fit. Also with the stock bars in the stock position and steering locks set as from the factory the control pods hit the tank (chipped paint). The tank is definitely too big for the bike. Maybe the solution is to pour miracle grow over the rest of the Monster

Ben at Coleman's (Fairfax) is pretty on the ball when it comes to the replacement procedure. I just drove mine in, he took pictures and I rode out til the new tank was there.
I like this Monster-grow solution idea...A LOT!!!!!
