Splash pan under the carburetor - Rotax 912S LU

[backcountry]

Vans uses a splash pan under the carburetor to splash overflow fuel. This causes difficulty when performing maintenance like cleaning the carburetor bowls or changing the floats etc.
I noticed that Rotax doesn’t ship these engines with splash pans. The splash pans are from Vans. The little hoses need to be in the same pressure area so engine will run at the same altitude.
My question: is there any other ways to deal with this issue?

The drip trays will hopefully divert the fuel from landing on the hot exhaust manifold in the event of a bowl overflow. The vent hose’s primary purpose is to have atmospheric air pressure on top of the fuel in the bowl. Although it doubles as an overflow line that isn’t its primary purpose. Having it stubbed at the carburetor bail is not the same atmosphere as the air entering the carburetor. The OEM airbox, (which Van’s changed to individual air filters), is where the bowl vent lines usually attach.

My solution;
