Ducati no longer bother with Plastic tanks since Panigale and 821 all new models are steel ,,,some other manufacturers KTM and MotoGuzzi aand some off road bikes have plastic on some models ,, but its a disaster zone ,
No more 0% ethanol pure Benzine fuel in Uk since early this year even Esso and BP 97 /98/99 octane is now 5% ethanol
as of next year most UK fuel will be 10% ethanol although some premium fuels will remain 5% but you will pay a lot extra per litre for it .
Be prepared for problems with older bikes and cars especially with carbs ,, my experience in Thailand is that even Viton carb needles and seals and fuel lines rot eventually when in contact with 10% ethanol it also damages EFI systems and fuel lines in modern vehicles and also zinc and brass and aluminium dont like it ,,,, also you will lose up to 5% power and use 5% more fuel to boot so its lose lose ...
