Bingo!

That seems to have worked. At least I have a nice full, air bubble free, primary filter and no leaks. I'm thinking that means the supply (now return) line and connections are all good so the problem is the strainer in the tank. My still pretty new primary filter already has some black crud in it so that supports the strainer theory too.

Other than clogging my filters because I am bypassing the strainer is there any reason why I can't try driving home (about 50 miles) with it like this? I'd like to see how it goes on the highway and would also rather drain the tank, etc. at my garage where I have the proper tools.
