I would imagine it may blow apart after a short while as it's taking a loading it was never designed for?

I'd be interested in any comments on that - Maybe I'm talking rubbish? It certainly wouldn't be the first time!!

No problem good question. The vacuum hose is designed to take both vacuum and positive pressure, its used all over the place on the engine. I've used it on my installation because thats what I've seen most people use on their cars. As you can see from the pictures, taken a few months after my initial installation, the hose is still in good condition.
