    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.
    I just use a fuel line clamp on each hose prior to undoing them. very minimal mess and easy to use.

    you don't want to go over board with the pressure.
    That is an interesting trick, Garret. Thanks for sharing.

    Ive never really had much issue priming the filter,

    i spend more time trying to get the filter off then anything, doesnt matter how loose i do it maybe because its close to turbo and the heat running around there or the fuel lines running across
    the fire wall warm the fuel up i dont know. But i had to go out and buy an aggressive filter clamp to remove my fuel filter, normal filter removal tools are no match.

    There i nice little clamp off tool Mudski

    Move the housing to the RHS mate. Much betterer position.
