I have never tried this on a fuel hose but it is an idea:
Get some flexible PVC spa pipe a little larger in ID than your fuel hose OD - 4' long or so. Glue a PVC slip-slip union on the end. Cut coarse teeth in the end of the union - you are making a long, flexible hole saw with plastic teeth but foam is usually pretty soft. Slide it over hose and cut as far as you can from either end by twisting the tube - you will probably need to put wire pulling lube inside the spa pipe. You will still end up with Popeye arms though.
This is how I have done fuel hoses that were not foamed (much):
Before you pull the old hose out use, use a barbed PVC union fitting to connect it to the new hose on the fill end. Use 3-4 pan head screws on each side of the union, screwed through the hose into the union to hold the hose on. This is smaller than hose clamps. Use a wire pull to put a heavy cord down the ID all the way through - this is your back-up. Push the new hose from the outside and pull the old hose from the inside.
You will need several drinks when you are done because your muscles will be screaming...
