Thats a crimp clamp the same as CV boots use, not a clic-R. It needs a slightly more specialist tool, but a worm-drive hose clamp will work fine.

A smear of engine oil or petroleum jelly will work on the o-ring.

The large seal for the top of the tank should have a lip at the top, like an upside-down top hat.

Oh, the plastic pipe is the return I think, which should just be tucked in to the fuel pump housing.

(edit - don't use petroleum jelly on rubber. That was terrible advice and is retracted!)
