I don't think they are the same. From what I've been able to find, brake hose is EPDM rubber and fuel hose is generally NBR rubber. I am not a chemist, but conventional (i.e. not DOT-5 silicone) brake fluid is glycol-ether based which is I think quite different from the aromatic hydrocarbons in fuel.
