I have a collection of rubber stoppers "left over" from when I taught chemistry. The smallest: 000 and 00 are often useful for plugging things like the outlet from a fuel tank temporarily. I believe that these are available at Lowes and certainly at a good hardware store. A larger one (#8?) can be used to plug the filler tube grommet on a fuel tank while it is being raised into position. Hoses can be clamped without much stress by using small needle-nosed vise grips with pieces of hose on the jaws.

Larry A. did you actually find 11 mm fuel hose at your FLAPS?
