  Q: What precautions should be taken when repairing the fuel tank or filler neck on Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe?

  A: You should know that any repairs to the fuel tank or filler neck should be carried out by a professional. Also, after cleaning and flushing the fuel system, explosive fumes can remain and ignite during the repair of the tank. If the fuel tank is removed from the vehicle, it should not be placed in an area where sparks or open flames could ignite the fumes coming out of the tank. Extra caution is needed inside garages where a gas-type appliance is located.
