The return banjo bolt is modified to be 'solid' instead of hollow.

I tightened all the clamps and didn't see any fuel level drop overnight in the prefilter, but still had some stuttering upon switching back to diesel when I arrived at work.

Next chance I get I'll re-lube and re-seat the secondary diesel filter and secondary filter banjo bolt. I didnt touch anything in the fuel system besides the immediate connections to the filters.

Thank you all for the help thus far.
