 At least I only said "looks like".  Quote:

DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant. 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation".  (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!  Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

I feel like a idiot
 because I didn't look on the hose clamp itself as the brand name and size is engraved on it. The name and size on the clamp is Oetiker and 15.3. With this I did a google search and the actual name of this is called a ear clamp and you don't need a special tool to install them. The tool that I bought is a end cutting pliers. Tomorrow I will stop at the hardware store to see if they have this ear clamp in stock as I need to buy a couple more. Here is a couple of links for the ear clamps and end cutting pliers for reference.

The hardware store that I went to didn't have them in stock and was told it'll be 2 - 3 to get them in. So I didn't order them as they are closed on the weekend and they are closed when I get back in town from work when it would come in if I had them order it. I just ordered them online instead. So I'll have to wait some more before I can finish this fuel pump job.

I wouldn't want to put silicone anywhere near the fuel system, and especially not inside the tank. It will do bad things to the O2 sensors amongst other things. Something fuel-soluble is best in this application
