Hi! All you have to do is replace the fuel lines with a good hose that is meant to endure gasoline exposure for long periods. I use Tygon. You will probably need a foot of 3/32 ID x 3/26 OD and a foot of .08 ID x .14 OD. There are many folks who can sell this to you through ebay. Just do a search, and they should come up for about $4 delivered and including postage.  Also, when you feed the new fuel line through the gas tank, try cutting it at a tapered angle.  This makes it much easier when feeding it through the whole, and since the line is a little larger than the whole, you will get a good seal.  Replacing the fuel line should be pretty easy from this point, and you might even want to replace that fuel filter too!

Cheers,

David
