bubble in heater hose

I just ordered a new one but I don't think it will come fast enough.
I am wondering if I can get a temp hose and run it until the set of two I ordered comes in.
Anyone ever done that?

No, but most parts houses have them in rolls and you buy by the foot, The look to be like a 5/8 hose.

I did get the two 5/8 hoses installed. I'm not sure I will keep them after I get the exact fit hoses. Kind of hard to get the hoses to bend like they need to in a short run. I am wondering if I cut the hoses too long.
