Hi All Ashamed to say the bike has been off the road since September ! I want to change the petrol tank for a tidier example as mine had been repaired and resprayed before I got it. This I only found out when I was repairing a couple of pin hole leaks ( see my other thread) with leak fix. Whilst it was upside down petrol leaked out and the paint wrinkled beyond repair! Goodness knows what it was resprayed with! Anyway apart from the fuel pump o ring, new filter and metal fuel nut sender ( another reason it was off the road) what else might I need? Are there any other parts inside the tank besides the filler cap that I need to order or salvage from the old tank? Cant find anything online about swapping tanks. Many thanks
Might be worth checking the condition of the petrol pipes. These perish with time and don’t cost much to replace. Also some red rubber grease for fitting the new O ring.
Thanks! PS Id love to know who it was at Ducati who thought it would be a good idea, putting that huge fuel pump etc inside the tank with all the sealing issues !
Thanks Ian, are they just a standard petrol pipe like the external injector feed pipes? I did have a problem finding the exact internal diameter locally.
Hi. Yes the same sizes but differ in that they have to be rated for the job, submersed in petrol. Can’t remember the rating now...
expensive stuff on eBay but found this https://www.carbuildersolutions.com...MfRFcalduw1-8OOWOuOA29Ud_BFnXN_RoCpncQAvD_BwE 7.3mm ID or this https://www.demon-tweeks.com/mocal-...yhc3JWh10jdcfkPCqMhoC2zEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds 7.9mm ID, which is the problem I had with the external lines, some pipes vary in ID
