The fuel tank on my 2008 ducati model monster s4rs tricolore has expanded due to a commonly known problem of ethanol fuels reacting to the material which the tanks are made from. The tank has significantly expanded to the point where it now impedes the turning of the handlebars and is wavy along the sides where the knees are positioned. The tank, as of yet, doesn't appear to be leaking but many have had leaks develop and it certainly appears to be a potential safety issue. *kb

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ducati 1098 motorcycle. The contact stated that the fuel tank swelled to more than three quarters its normal size. This failure caused fuel to leak out of the fuel tank. The contact believed the failure was caused by the ethanol used in gasoline. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that because they were aware of the failure, the vehicle would be repaired but the fuel tank would be replaced with the same type of fuel tank that previously failed. The failure and current mileage was 7,000.

I purchased a '08 ducati sport classic sport 1000 in april 2009. It was used with 1,200 miles on it. Within 2 months of purchase the gas tank "spread". This means the plastic gas tank distorted it's shape enough to come completely off it's mount on the right side of the gas tank. Ducati is replacing this tank with an exact duplicate. Since the replacement tank is the same material as the original, i expect the "spreading " problem to re-occur. The problem is in the material used in the construction of the gas tank. Ducati is giving us defective tanks to replace the defective tanks on the bikes. *tr
