Hi,

Want to put a track day tank on me 996R. Bought a rough tank from 2001 748.
How to get the tanks swapped with as little hassle as possible? Preferablywith the possibility to swap them back once in a while.
Looking at the tanks they look identical. However the fuel line setup looks different (better?) on the R than for example on a 748 / 996S.
Is the pump the same?
What to do?

Have a look at the tech manuals on the Ducati website:
http://www.ducati.com/bikes/catalogs.jhtml

These give you the part numbers so you can compare.

I think the fuel coupling got revised later on, as they are notoriously easy to split the o-ring and lose fuel. You should just be able to replace the older coupling with the newer one...

you'll need a hammer ...!!!!

Honest ....

Like hammers but not for this sort of work.Spoke to Rattler, agreed. Best move seems to be a second hand pump.
Anyone got one?
