I agree, but I'm telling you, the silicone tubing that everyone uses for automotive stuff would be rated the exact same on those scales. It's just that no one is telling you that it'll degrade if you...

That's an industrial rating.

Meaning you can run fuel and oil through them at pressure 24/7. Silicone is silicone. It's not going to degrade from the oil and fuel residue your PCV system will have...

Ah, it's only rated to 10psi @ room temp, though I HIGHLY doubt you'd have any issues with it coming apart.
