FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

	2004 aprilia rsvr factory, see complaint #10334078 and all related. the fuel tanks are made by the same company as ducati of the same materials, my tank was taken to the dealership on concerns of drastically reduced mileage - from 45-50mpg to measured 15mpg and rippled/spread tank surface, aprilia denied my claim filed a couple of weeks ago at motocorsa of portland. motocorsa advised me to file this complaint. concerned spreading has caused somehow a leak or created pressure from spreading on a fuel line to affect gas mileage? very concerned about riding this motorcycle and the potential loss in resale, and the added expenses incurred by having diagnostic work done to no avail, as well as extra unanticipated cost of using a car.
