I noticed on the shop manual that they are some gaskets involved as well and I am a little concern on having fuel leaks latter on if I don't replace the gaskets as well but I am not sure if any of this stuff still available.

Dear X194U

I don't know beans about a Milano but I do have way more experience with 
a GTV6 fuel tank than I want.  The in-tank screen filter is, as far as I 
can discern, unavailable.  You can just do without it if you put a free 
flow type filter in the line from the tank to the pump.  On the GTV6 the 
only "gasket" involved is a copper washer on the banjo fitting and that 
can be annealed and re-used.  (I can never remember the annealing 
process - heat it to a dull cherry red and then quench it in water - or 
don't quench it - somebody help here.)
