Brand new panigale v4 burst in flames

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

So someone is filling up a petrol station and while fuel is being put in the bike it bursts into flame and that’s proof of the bike having a problem? Zero chance that fuel was being splashed around, aside from vapours… Hard to tell but it looked like he started the bike while it was being filled?

I love that this line is a different size on each end. Otherwise you could just use fuel line from any auto parts. Is the issue that the removed end degrades and starts to leak? I've had my tank off several times by removing the line off the quick disconnect T. No leaks. But then I'm using a screw clamp instead of an Oetiker clamp. Only Ducati could manage a one-use fuel line.

Thank goodness for Ducati’s ironically named ‘quick’ connectors. 🤣
 
For the past number of years, my experiences with Ducati handling customers’ challenges have been really on point and efficient. I’m surprised to hear you’re not experiencing the same.
 
It's apparent when watching the long video it was gasoline vapor which was ignited. The flames seems to propagate across the ground and stays on the left side of the bike. What's less obvious is what was the source of the ignition.

When hot, the gas will boil in the tank and the vapor will collect on the ground when the bike is stationary.

The removed end yes , the line was leaking from the hose it self. Seems the layers inside came apart . The quick disconnects I've since found are super easy to come off... You press and holds the buttons together and force the connections towards each other first then pull away to remove them. Everyone thinks they are a pain in the ass because they are doing it wrong. I was one of these people as well until i found out how to use the quick connector. Once you see how easy it is compared to taking off the clamp hose you will laugh to your self.

You need the key to open the tank. You cant ignite a bike and open the gas tank at the same time. Have you ever riden a bike before? Do you even know what you are saying. Thats hilarious hahaha.

Yeah, in the west is normally the case. In mexico, you can get away with anything, specially large companies like ducati, without any repercutions.
