Anybody have problems with their radiator hose blowing off?

Did anybody else have a problem with their radiator overflow hose blowing off? This is how I had to reroute it. I think it may have been too tight on the bottle. Anybody? The pic was too big to show, so I linked.

that clamp you used on the plastic bottle can not be too tight. Loosen it up some it relieves pressure thats the reason why it keeps popping on you. Heat builds pressure in there so loosen it up.
