How to stop sewer hose leak

I have a small leak in my sewer hose. I will be replacing it with a sewermaster but probably not for a couple weeks. Does anyone know of a product to stop/seal the leak in the interim?

The guy on tv said "Flex Seal" will seal anything water tight. I would say replace as soon as possible

Are you storing your sewer hose in the bumper? They rust inside and tear up the hose. I'd just tape over with some 100 mph tape or similar until replacement arrives.

100 mph (aluminum) tape is a bit stiff. I would use electrical tape until you replace it.

Well, the Walmart must be too far away for a new hose; perhaps the safest course of action is to not dump the tanks for a few weeks and use the bushes. Tape? Flex Seal?

If the leak "is from a single pinhole" you might be able to just disconnect the hose, rotate it 180 degrees (turn it over) and put the pinhole on the top. That would eliminate the leak except when the hose is carrying "100% capacity" which seldom happens except when dumping tanks. That would allow you to "limp along" until you buy a new hose... (something I'd suggest at the very next trip to WalMart or a campground store. Nearly all of them will have a variety of sewer hoses ranging from the "super cheap, one time use" type to the "heavy duty, buy it once and be done with problems" type.... BTW, You get what you pay for ...
