The reason you have a pocket of gas accumulating is either due to a temperature fluctuation (hot spot) or your pressure is not high enough and the gas in solution is breaking out.
Beer line length and diameter is utilized in a draft system to control the flow rate of the beer as it comes out of the faucet. If you alter this, you will alter the flow speed. Always concentrate on balancing the pressure to the keg first with the correct PSIG.
Target 38 degrees F beer temperature. If you would reply with your beer type and elevation we can indicate what your PSIG should be. The length of the 3/16" line will be based on this PSIG at the keg.
