Of course you can. Not sure why priming is a hassle though. Not like its hard to do. Takes a whole 20-30 pumps and its done.
To make priming much quicker & much easier fit a 'bulb primer' (diesel compatible) in the fuel line before the filter. Have had one on mine for must be 7 or 8 years now.

Rito thanks fellas. And thanks cuppa rekon i'll get one of those bulb primers.
Please do take note of Cuppa Mates advice: “before the OEM filter” much like an electrical lift pump would push forward also.
Recently experienced trackside attempting to palm (bulb) pump through/after an OEM filter/primer and they do appear to counteract each other sucking the palm bulb flat/shut.

I always fill it up as much as I can.
When you disconnect the hose between the pump and the filter keep it high with a zip tie as to not let any fuel drip out to minimize the chance of air bubbles.
Pump it until it overflows then connect it all back together.
Thanks M B,pollenface. Good advice, i"ll keep it all in mind for the next change.
if I have trouble priming the fuel I push it up with an air compressor in the filler neck ...
