Hi Emmanuel,
 The previous advice from Kelvin, Roland and Bob is good. The approved LAA 
Modification
can be found here:

I sourced my silicon hoses and clamps  from this UK outfit:

 However, I found it difficult to tighten the hoses sufficiently to stop a small
amount of fulel seeping out. The solution was to spread a thin layer of Hylomar
blue on the outside of the aluminium tube where it connects with the silicon
tubing, under the clamps. This gives a fuelproof seal to the connection. The
sealant can be found here:

Hope this helps
