Simple(?) question - re: rubber fuel line

This is probably a dumb question, but is regular rubber fuel line compatible with brake fluid or will the rubber degenerate?

I need to use some rubber line to go between my clutch reservoir and my clutch master cylinder, so the fluid will not be under pressure, I just need rubber line of the right size that is compatible with brake fluid. I can't find any hose of this sort that is marked as being compatible with brake fluid.

Thanks for the input.

Sorry to hog air time but I'm sure some of you folks know the answer. The local parts guy tells me that rubber fuel hose is compatible with brake fluid if it is made of neoprene. Can anyone confirm this? I'm not sure I'd let this parts guy mow the grass.

Thanks

I would not trust hose from an auto parts place. Look in the phone book and find a place that does hydraulic hoses. Or an aviation suppy place.
