I hate to disagree with your years of mechanic experience, but my experience is polar opposite
My two 300Ds have either never had a cigar hose (ok one was a 280 originally) or at least never had when I've owned them (apparently they were a US spec only thing?)
If fuel hose can handle petrol/gasoline it can handle diesel no problem. I suspect hose you've been buying is poor quality. I even use air hose as diesel fuel hose no problem. The same hose will swell and soften in petrol
