Hose from Radiator to Exp Tank vs. Regular Radiator Overflow Tubing 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be 24-Year Volvo Owner on  Sun Feb 27 13:45 CST 2011 [RELATED]

My Volvo is 240DL 88. My water hose from Radiator to Expansion Tank needs to be replaced.

My Expansion Tank has a 0.7 bar (about 11 Psi) black cap. I am wondering if I can use 5/16 inch Radiator Overflow Tubing sold in any auto parts store.

Does anyone know that this tubing can be used under 11 Psi?

I found in BrickBoard.com that the original Volvo parts has the following specification: the air vent hose is 6.2mm in inner diameter, about 87.5cm (34.5 inches) long, and Volvo p/n 942700.

Under 11 psig pressure, is there any difference between both? Or I have to go with Volvo parts.

Thanks
