article 511 is puzzling me it says a minor repair shop can do everything but change out a fuel tank basicly. So is a repair shop to send the vehicle to another shop to do this to comply with the requirements of 511. This is a minor mechanical task that is performed in a minor repair shop all of the time. So why wouldn't a minor repair shop just be classified as a major and be done with the 2 different classes. Also nowadays a lot of cars are using hybrid fuels and taking them to a minor repair shop, wouldn't that mean that repair shop should be classified as a major repair shop. This article seems as if it needs more definition. Does anybody else have ideas. I understand the ventilation aspect is an issue but if you pull in a hybrid to do a tune up and oil change isn't this vehicle making the garage a major repair garage as it relates to article 511 and the possibility of lighter than air gasses escaping and accumulating. Im doing some retro work on a commercial garage next month and would like any ideas. Thanx
