New Coolant Tank and Hoses for a 906

Post by Bone »

Does anyone know where I can find a new coolant tank and hoses for a 906?

If I cannot find the original parts, are there substitutes I can use?

Coolant tanks are no longer available from Ducati. This is a rather sore spot for 906 and 907 owners. If you find one, buy it no matter what the price.

Folks have tried plastic weld with mixed success.
I believe someone had the original one wrapped in fiberglass.
I also heard that someone was having one formed from aluminum.

I think that it would be ideal if a plastic forming shop could do a limited run of these tanks for 906/907 owners and have a group buy.

If you want new hoses for "Your Paso" then you will have to contact a company like Artel Rubber(UK) who can make custom hosing for motor vehicles. Then you will have to strip all the hosing from your Paso and send this to them so they can make a duplicate batch. The header tank should not be too much trouble to make yourself.
