fuel pressure dropping over time

I dont believe that the hose is "heating up" and kinking. Once a hose kinks it stays kinked they dont cool off and magically straighten out.
Yes get rid of the kink that will help.
Your problem lies elsewhere my educated guess is back at the tank.
Keep looking and Good Luck
Saw this once before on a efi dodge pickup. Fuel filter was replaced and owner put new longer hose on.
