Debris in the tank

Not having a go with engineers here. I'm not talking about the systems in the fuel tanks. I'm talking about the debris that is left in them. I have found 2 aircraft this past week with access panels in the E&E bays with incorrect hardware allowing fuel vapors to be exposed to the electrical systems.
The other day I found 3 red rags on top of a boost pump inlet screen. You do know what happens when fuel can't get to the engine right?
