Default dump valve silicon blue hose, can i used it elswhere?

hi i bought a big old length of the silicone hose for the dump valve (you know the small hose that connects to the top most of the times) ca i use thise hose elsewhere, like over the left hand side of the egine where the smaller pipes are? (im a noob at engine so im not sure what parts i mean) but if the pipe looks the same size etc is it safe?

Cheers J.

you can replace all/most of the vacuum pipe with it.

It will be fine for vacuum pipes as said. Beware aware that some vacuum pipe will have a 'restrictor pill' in them IIRC, so make sure thats transferred

You can use it all over, replacing like for like; BUT, as mentioned don't use it to replace any of the coolant pipes to the header tank.

I replaced the washer pipes with silicon pipe.
