Good chance the hose that blew was the correct
hose, but was not "cut to fit" as a lot of aftermarket hose are. they
are made that way because then one hose can fit several applications. You
will see one or more markings on those hoses, and the store's book will probably
have a footnote saying that it must be "cut to fit" There is nothing wrong
with "NAPA" hoses, I've used them for years without
problems.
