Thanks for the replies guys.

I've got new O-rings on both filters, although I did initially forget about the one in the pre filter.

I forgot about filling the filter with diesel to make it start faster. Wasn't there another fluid that could have been used too? Can't remember exactly, but I thought it was something other than diesel? A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Car is charging overnight. I'll give it another shot in the AM.
