8MUD and Muad'Dib have some real good advise below.
Be careful with fuel hose as there is a wide variety out there, some for low pressure (old style low pressure carburator fuel hose, like 20 psi), some high pressure for fuel injection (i have seen two different pressure ratings on this stuff, one good fro renix 50 psi max, one good for newer higher pressure fuel injection like up to 100 psi), some for pure bio-diesel (it's made of a flouroplymer like Viton, real expessive).
They use a variety of different synthetic resins for hose internals depending on the fluid used. Transmission fluid has its own unique rubber eating properties, so does brake fluid, gas, & bio-diesel. Power steering hose, high side has to handle a burst pressure of 10,000 psi, the low pressure PS return side is real low unless you accidently crush the hose. I think the tranny fluid pressure to the cooler is low unless you crush the hose or pinch the hose, in which case it can pretty high (several hundred pounds, PSI, I think).
Old vehicles used a special power sterring fluid, it was clear in color. In later years some cars started using tranny fluid (dyno) for PS fluid, but those who used tranny fluid in the older PS systems quickly ate the hose and steering box seals on those older cars (70 and 80s being the older models).
If you find and buy the flouroplymer grade fuel injection hose rated for about 100 psi on the jacket it will handle just about any fluid up to its pressure rating (but brakes and power steering high pressure side are too high a pressure for it).
I have seen low cost tranny hose for use with worm gear hose clamps. Have you tried finding and buying it?
