I "think" you will also find that Gorilla Tape (yes, same CO. as Gorilla
Glue)
to be a good temp fix. Super sticky and thick (read: VERY ROBUST) and
once heated up, it sort of turns into fiber glass, or a hardened clamp
around
whatever you've applied it. I put it on 2 of my O2 sensors right at the wire
coming out of the sensor, and within a couple heat cycles it had hardened
into something tantamount to a shield, which is what I was looking for.
And yes, you do want to replace the entire hose ASAP.
