Ducati injection trouble shooting

[Voltaire]

Found Problem: split hose inside tank from fliter to injection unit. both hoses were swollen from age too. another bonding session with the Duke...

Cool, glad you found it and also that it turned out to be something fairly simple.
Always nice to see the result posted on a troubleshooting thread, sure to be helpful to someone down the track, especially something like this that could easily affect any injected bike with a similar set up

but wait there is more.... don't use old hoses because the non Ducati filter doesn't fit.....get the factory parts. Its a pain in the butt taking the filler on and off....especially on the commuter bike.

The big issue on these tanks is the bottom rusting out.... and the vents blocking....well worth checking and sorting as the tanks are expensive.
I did a long post on this about last May called Ducati's Suck

Ducati's Suck

Only the rubber band bikes, they all went downhill once Bevels went out of production
not admitting at all the bottom may have been cut out of my Darmah tank to have rust repairs done

Yep on my list for this winter...7 years old so will need to replace hoses before I end up with the same problem as yours.

Old hoses?? Who would replace split hoses with old ones?? Do you mean get factory filter? I've used aftermarket Napa 3032 filters with original hoses no problem. $10 bucks each

Oh and hopefully not speaking too soon.......over 4 years of ownership and not one reliability issue

Oh and the way to preserve your fuel lines a bit longer and also help prevent the tank from going rusty is to fill up just before you get home from a ride.

I got an aftermarket filter from the guys in Dunedin but the diameter on the spigots is larger....so refitted old ( not split at time hoses)
In hindsight this was not a great money saving idea.....
Went out to Haldanes and got a new filter, hose that fits and a tank seal.....some oil and a filter.....going to treat the old girl.

As for bevels being better......at least there aren't 200 on TM at any one time.
There were at least 4 Darmahs at Puke and one MHR...and a a 750gt....
MRH's....they are just Darmahs with big carbs and fairings....
