RE: NHTSA 11V020 2004 DUCATI MTS 1000. I HAVE RECEIVED THE NOTICE REGARDING THE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE O-RING AT THE FUEL TANK-PUMP FLANGE. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE O-RING IS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES AND THIS WILL BE A TEMPORARY, BANDAID SOLUTION AT BEST. THE REAL ISSUE IS THE POLYMER FUEL TANKS ARE EXPANDING/WARPING DUE TO ETHANOL IN THE GASOLINE. WHILE MINE HAS NOT LEAKED YET, IT IS SHOWING CLEAR SIGNS OF TANK WARPAGE AND EVEN WITH AN IMPROVED O-RING I AM CONCERNED IT WILL EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO LEAK GASOLINE. EVEN BEFORE LEAKS DEVELOP, OWNERS ARE REPORTING PROBLEMS REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE FUEL TANKS DUE TO EXPANSION AND WARPAGE. THE ONLY REAL FIX TO THIS PRO
2004 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1000DS GAS TANK DEFORMS DUE TO ETHANOL FUEL. THE GAS TANK IS MADE OF A COMPOSITE PLASTIC MATERIAL. DEFORMATION CAUSES LEAKS AND/OR FAILURE OF ABILITY TO INSTALL OR REMOVE THE TANK FROM THE FRAME OF THE BIKE. DUCATI REPLACED THE TANK WITH ONE OF THE SAME MATERIAL THAT WILL DEFORM AGAIN. *TR
