Hi guys, I'm hoping to get some ideas here about how to modify the little plastic tube that connects the outlet of the aftermarket fuel pump to the inlet of the hanger. It's a 2006, so the Walboro 255 pump is 1/4 to 1/2 an inch longer than the stock one, so it is not simply a direct replacement. I had installed a Walboro a few years ago when I did the supercharger and it had held up okay until now, however a few months ago the car cut out while driving normally, and I traced it to a leak between the pump and hanger. I managed to ghetto-rig it back together for now, however I was wondering if anyone knows the "correct" way to install the pump so that it lasts without leaking.

The way I installed it before was by cutting off the top part of the white pipe and removing the flange about 3/8" from the top so that I could insert the pipe further into the hanger inlet.

Thanks!
