Ducati 848 Fuel System problems by year

1St issue is when coming to a stop or at a stop like with bike in neutral, is will randomly shut off with out warning, and without an engine code. It happens 3-4 times a day. Second issue is my bike leaks fuel randomly depending on the temp of the day I notice it alot in my garage. Search online and there are a ton of forms of people experiencing the same issue.

Fuel is leaking out of the bottom of the motorcycle near the exhaust manifold. I took it to the shop and they said that it is a known problem with deformation of the gas tank and ducati settled a class action law suit about it. However, I was never notified and did not qualify for the repairs because more than 18 months has passed since the lawsuit was settled. Vehicle was parked in the garage when I noticed the large puddle of fuel on the floor.

In 2015 I purchased a 2013 ducati streetfighter 848 dealer demonstration model as "new", and therefore the first registered owner. After approximately 4,500 miles, I am experiencing the fuel tank deforming and expanding. Further research reveals that this is a known defect, and that a class action lawsuit was filed in 2010 between jonas sugarman (and class) and ducati north america (california). This situation introduces a safety issue on many levels, including fuel leakage and subsequent fire hazard, steering...

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ducati 848 motorcycle (n/a). The contact stated that the plastic fuel tank became fractured, which resulted in an excessive fuel leak. The vehicle was previously repaired by the dealer and the fuel tank was replaced. Most recently, the failure recurred and the vehicle was not repaired for the recurring failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 8,100.

I have a 2010 ducati 848, one day I noticed that it was leaking gasoline from the fuel overflow hose its a pretty constant drip, it probably drips once every 3-5 seconds. It does it more so when its hot and humid out. I thought it was because of the gasoline expanding in the heat when I first noticed it but it did not make a difference if the tank was full or half full. It's a big hazard because the bike is in a garage and if it gets slightly humid in there, it begins to leak and causes a lot of vapors and fumes...

Ducati fuel tanks are leaking. Dealers are replacing some fuel tanks for original owners. I am not an original owner. My fuel tank is not leaking, yet. If you log on to ducati.Org you may read some of the forum postings. You can search forum postings for fuel tank leaks. It is happening on multiple models built during multiple years. Please protect us from ducati and force ducati to recall and replace the fuel tanks. Ethanol causes the plastic fuel tanks to expand and rupture vent tubes. I do not wish to burn and...

Failure of gas tank. Gas tank seems to undergo changes over time a use. The changes are, swelling, leaking, internal failure, damage to fuel system. Swelling causes inability to turn handle bars to move to full turn. Leaking causes harmful gas fumes to be consumed by rider which can lead to cancer and other health problems, fire or explosion is also a problem. Internal failure also causes the above problems. It has been found that also the inside of the tanks also undergo flex and cause cracking inside and outside the tanks. Damage to fuel system from the materials that mix and fall into the tank. This can clog the fuel lines causing injector failure or even engine failure. *Tr

Many owners are reporting that their defective tank was replaced with another defective tank, so they are on their second or third fuel tank. It seems to be primarily an issue with fuel in the us, however the problem is showing up in europe. The consensus on the web is that the problem is related to the addition of ethanol in the gasoline, but there are many reports of motorcycles that have used ethanol tainted gas for years and have not had problems with deformation. But more importantly in many...

I just bought a brand new 2009 ducati sport 1000 motorcycle. Have put about 160 miles on the bike and parked it outside work for 2 hours in direct sunlight. The gas tank was half full. When I returned to the bike the tank had expanded approximately 2 inches from left to right and 1 inch from front to back. It started to look like the shape of a banana. The tank was completely loose enough to lift off the frame. I opened the gas tank and a gush of air escaped and the tank shrunk back down about 75% which left...
