TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 620 MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE SEAT. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HIM TO REMOVE THE TANK AND BRING IT IN FOR INSPECTION. THE TANK WAS REMOVED AND THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FRACTURED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE WAS EXPIRED AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,200.
THIS DUCATI MOTORCYCLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT DEFORMED LEADING TO LEAKING AT THE FUEL PUMP AREA. LEAKING OF FUEL IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE MOTORCYCLE FUEL TANK TO ENGINE EXHAUST WHICH IS HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE A FIRE IF IN CONTACT WITH FUEL.
MY MOTORCYCLE HAS A PLASTIC GAS TANK WHICH HAS BEGUN TO EXPAND. THE OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS OF THE TANK HAVE INCREASED AND IT NOW DOES NOT SIT CORRECTLY IN THE FRAME, THE HANDLEBARS HIT IT ON TURNING, AND IT PRESSES AGAINST THE IGNITION SWITCH.

POTENTIAL FOR FIRE, EVEN DEATH. FUEL TANK SWELLING TO THE POINT OF LEAKING GASOLINE FROM THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE ONTO THE REAR TIRE AND EXHAUST. DUCATI NORTH AMERICA IS REPLACING THE TANKS ONLY IF THERE IS AN ACTUAL LEAK. THE TANKS MAY START LEAKING AT ANY TIME. EVEN WHEN PARKED IN A GARAGE CREATING A FIRE HAZARD IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS DUE TO FUEL LEAKING OUT ONTO THE FLOOR DESTROYING THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN CREATING MASSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE HUMAN LIVES. MANY HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING OTHERS HAVE FUEL TANKS THAT ARE SO DEFORMED THAT YOU CANNOT REMOVE THEM TO DO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED BY DUCATI WITH OUT DESTROYING THE TANK. *TR
2006 DUCATI MTS 620 BEGAN TO STEADILY LEAK FUEL FROM BOTTOM OF FUEL TANK AT THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE. THIS ALLOWED FUEL TO DRIP ONTO HOT EXHAUST, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. *TR
DUCATI GAS TANK EXPANDED TO THE POINT THAT IT CAN NO LONGER BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE TO SERVICE IT. APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM AND WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A LEAK AROUND THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING. POTENTIAL FIRE/SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THAT HAPPENS. HAVE READ THAT ETHANOL IN THE GAS IS THE CAUSE OF THE DEFORMATION OF THE TANK. *TR
MOTORCYCLE GAS TANK (PLASTIC) IS DEFORMING AND: A) NO LONGER SITS TIGHT TO THE FRAME AS DESIGNED, B) IS EXERTING PRESSURE ON IGNITION, MAKING THE TANK DIFFICULT TO LATCH AND UNLATCH FOR MAINTENANCE. *TR
FUEL LEAKING FROM FUEL PUMP AREA DUE TO EXPANDING/WARPING PLASTIC FUEL TANK. BRAND NEW O-RING GASKET PLUS ADDITIONAL HYLOMAR SEAL DID NOT HELP PREVENT THE LEAK. VEHICLE IS NOW AT MANUFACTURER AUTHORIZED SHOP AS OF 4/10/2010. *TR
