Loctite makes a cylindrical parts fluid. Not sure what the number is for it off the top of my head. Look at a loctite website or ask a jobber. HOWEVER, i'm not sure i would prefer that in this case tho i've used it many times on wollowed out wheel bearing races. IT does work well.
I think you're referring to
Loctite 640 Sleeve Retainer, which is green in color. I know of several cases of loose-fitting transmission output shaft bushings that have been fixed with that stuff. However, as heating is required for disassembly, it may not be suitable in this case. As Loctite now offers nearly a dozen different retaining compounds, it gets confusing real fast - best to check with a knowledgable supplier for your specific application.
When recommending
Loctite products, it's important to not just specify by color, but by product number.
For example,
Loctite 290 Threadlocker - a special, wicking grade that penetrates assembled parts - is also green in color. Intended primarily for pre-assembled threaded fasteners (e.g. - electrical connections, set screws, etc.), it can also be used for porosity sealing. Usually disassembles with hand tools; else, heating may be required.
As if that isn't enough, I believe
Loctite acquired
Permatex, which makes a competing line of products, but with their own numbering system.
Returning to the subject fuel pump, I'd stick with the use of a hairpin clip - cut a groove or make new pin.
