They didnt go down to a small enough nipple (1/8")where I looked.

it'd be nice to have some clamps on there for piece of mind. There are two ways to do it, the way I don't care for is using small zip ties.
did that in two places.

The way I think would work a lot better would be to find some squeeze clamps for that size....
thats the item I returned to Advanced Auto. Their smallest ones also were not small enough. They excerted no pressure on the hose at all.

Well one problem I see with that if I understood it right was that you used a filter on the WVO only side to manifold them together,
No I did it to bleed any air that may be comming out of either return. They are manifolded together via a "T" prior to the valve

well couldn't that clog up if it got cold? Then without diesel running through it or heated fuel making it to it how would it clear? Maybe I'm being to critical.
nah that is good question. Yeah it would if I did not purge. This valve would be switched to diesel "after" sending diesel thru this path, though (purging) . That is further into phaze two though. Not to much an issue right now cause it is summer and cause I am using a blend of 10% gasloline too. thanks for you input
