Steel braid? Try easy-off and then pressure wash. Should come out pretty clean.

bill my steel braided fuel line and cooler lines i clean with
simply green or brake kleen although they never hardly ever need the brake kleen.is it actually steel braided(bonded hose or is it that covering you put on you hose.because that stuff will start to fade and turn a dull gray and that will were through to the copper center.the only fix for that stuff is to either get new coverings or get rid of it completely.i use to have a my hoses covered by that stuff in my grand prix in high school but got tired of it going to crap.

Used the Brake Kleen. Sprayed it into a rag and quickly ran it down the hose. Worked great! I lazy about cleaning. Always looking for an easy way. Thanks for the tip.
