How do you soften a gas hose?

But, I have an old cloth covered hose that is folded in half, and then fosselized. Has anyone figured out how to soften it up, so it is more pliable and NOT DISCOLOR THE CLOTH ?
Anyone run across this problem before?

Thanks,
Don

I'll try boiling them and see what happens,I was even thinking of soaking them in brake fluid? I will order new correct ones on monday but I wont have them in my hands for at least 10 days and I hope to fire my car up much sooner than that.I was hoping to install the fuel tank today but i may leave it until tomorrow so I can check the local auto parts stores for molded hoses that will work.
