Incident: April 12, 2014 · Filed: April 14, 2014

I WENT INTO MY GARAGE AND I SMELLED A FAINT GASOLINE SMELL NEAR MY 2012 DUCATI 848 EVO. I WAS CLEANING IT, GOING OVER IT TO SEE IF I COULD IDENTIFY THE SOURCE. I NEVER FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL BUT I DID FIND A WAVE AND A BUBBLE ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. THIS IS THE BEGINNING STAGE OF GAS TANK EXPANSION. NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE AFTER MY DISCOVERY. FAULTY OR DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL (GOOGLE), AS IT HAS A PLASTIC FUEL TANK AND NOT AN ALUMINUM TANK. *JS
