  Q: How Should Repairs to the Fuel Tank or Filler Neck Be Carried Out?

  A: Repairs to the fuel tank or filler neck should be carried out by a professional with experience in this work, and the tank should not be placed in an area where sparks or open flames could ignite the fumes coming out of it, especially inside garages where a gas-type appliance is located, as this could cause an explosion.
