- I have posted this TH-cam video showing how I replaced the fuel pump and filter assembly on my 1993 Ducati 888 and the horrors that awaited me in the tank itself and how it was restored.
I hope this video will help and guide anyone who might find themselves in the same situation. - เพลง
I want to say thank you to Mick Hodgson, with this tutorial I've restored "like new" the fuel tank of my Ducati 851 year '92 (same tank of 888).
Thank you very much !!!
Oh thats great thank you for the comment , glad it was helpful to you
Awesome thanks. The pipes in there are a mystery. I couldn’t blow through my fuel filter. Completely blocked. Same year strada as yours. Also my fuel pump gave up as well, luckily while I was troubleshooting some rich running. Cheers !
Glad it was of help to you
Going to do the belts on mine this week , I’ve never done belts before so should be interesting :-)
Nice bike love the paint job 👍
Fantastic mate thank you
Please could you help me? i have Ducati 888 SP5 nº440 and have problem with fuel pump. I need open fuel tank but no way to take out the fiiting that is in fuek tank to give access inside of tnak to remove fuel pump. Could you please explain if there are some special tools or other to remove it. Tanks
Hi Carlos , If the sp5 is the same as the Strada (which I’m sure it is ) the procedure would be as follows
Take out the 3 Allen bolts that holds the hinge filer lid unit (there are just 3 the other Allen head are fake)
This should come off quite easily to reveal the inner fuel cap unit,
This will get you to 1:16 on the video
this inner fuel cap unit is then held in place by several small Allen screws that screw from the inside flange of the unit 90 deg to the tank (take these completely out to be sure) and be sure not to drop any into the tank
Once all of those have been removed the inner part is just then held in by a rubber o-ring and this can sometimes be stuck fast , I was able to get my fingers inside and with some force pull it upwards to remove it, now some guys have had to use more force and yank at it and some resort to using a hammer shaft to gently lever it out, but be really careful if you do this .
It will come out just be persistent , you done need any special tools
If I understand your question correctly /
@@mickkkkyy Tanks Mick, i'll try, after i'll give new about this.
@Mick = Thanks A LOT , for the Clip and imaged details !
The only problem is Your commentaries ,
TOO FAST for a Non Fluent English Speaker ...
(Ooouuf = the YT Automatic SubTitles HELP !)
Main Questions PLEASE =
1. What Chemical Process to De.Rust the Tank inners ? (Phosphoric Acid ?)
2. What was the Main FAILURE in the Fuel Circuit ? Blocked PUMP , Clogged FILTERS ...?
THANKS for Your Reply !👍

Hey Erik , sorry for the fast narration , I thought I was actually quite slow :-)
1:- for treatment of the tank and rust removal we used the POR kit , see link below it’s the complete system for reclaiming the tank
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F391912949966
2:- main reason for bad / erratic running was Clogged filters , especially the gauze one at the bottom of the pump , the pump was actually okay and I could have used it again but I replaced just it as a matter of course
The symptoms of bad running I was having with the bike was , it would sometimes stall on idle , it would run fine then gradually run worse and worse until it went onto one cylinder before stopping all together , sometimes it would not start , sometimes it would , soedays it would run without an issue (but not often) :-)
Hope this all helps and if I can help you further please let me know Mick
It was especially worse when the fuel level was low
HEY Mick ! THANXX for the Answer !
Heavens ! = As your Name is "Hodgson"
( Like Neil ?) i hope Your "SLOW Pace" on Track is Not Faster than your "SLOW Narration"
= impossible To Follow ...😁
Seriously ,"MERCI beaucoup" for the Ebay Link =
i think it Should be "UseFUEL" for many DUCATIsti with Rusted Tanks (888 , 916 ...)
it is A PITY to SELL So Expensive Bikes with RAW Iron Tank inners , WITHOUT Any Special Gasoline PAINT , Specially with an INJECTION Fuelling !$!$
= Even OLD /5. Series BMW had PAINTED Tanks ,to Avoid Rust damages , despite their simple BING Carbs. !
OR , K. Series had Raw ALU. Alloy Tanks ....
Read You Soon !
