Using the replacement of a slit fuel line inside the tank as an excuse (see earlier write up on "Fuel pump assembly:submersible fuel lines"), I decided to pre-emptively change pretty much all parts still available to order that make up the fuel pump assembly. To save you some pennies should you go down that route (and as can be seen by the pictures below), when ordering a fuel pump from the factory for hefty 215 quid (Ducati part number 43040041A) what you receive is a Bosch fuel pump that retails for 55 quid (Bosch part number 0580453408). The difference of 160 quid is nothing more than Ducati premium tax. The fuel level sensor (old part number 59210073B and new part number 59210141A) now comes with a metal fuel sender nut from the factory (was plastic and prone to cracking and leaks).
