Fuel is leaking from the plastic gas tank in the area where the fuel pump assembly bolts to the bottom of the tank. The plastic flange is deformed and warped and no longer seals against the metal flange of the fuel pump assembly. The fuel tank started leaking gasoline while parked in the garage.
Fuel tank on my 2009 ducati multistrada 1100 is warping and expanding. According to information available online, my tank may eventually leak fuel. My dealer told me ducati will not replace my tank unless it is actually leaking. This is a serious safety concern.
The fuel tank on my 2009 ducati multistrada 1100s is expanding/moving/warping which is placing stress on my bike's frame, leading to the potential for catastrophic steering failure as the tank jams against the handlebars and the horrific potential for tank rupture.
