I was thinking of using biodiesel-compatible hose (in my experience the factory hoses have lasted longer using biodiesel than the plastic-lined hose, though), then using a couple reducer barb fittings so I could go from a 5/16" hose to maybe 1/4" and then back to 5/16". Does this sound like it will do the same thing as a cigar hose?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the middle of the cigar tube hose larger, rather than smaller, than the end portions?
That way, it acts like a damper, no?
