Ok Guys Here We Go.
I'm gonna change the fuel filter on the big girl and I couldn't find a primer or a bleeder anywhere on the beast. So I was wondering if you just top off the new filter with fuel, screw it on, and then get to cranking or what??? I would hate to air lock the fuel lines and have to start cracking injector lines.... so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The thing on the frame is a fuel heater.

I do the same thing, fill the filter as much as I can and screw it on and crank the **** out of it.

I went through a fuel filter every 500 miles just about for a few months. would act like it wasn't getting fuel. Come to find out there was a strip of rubber hose and one of the plastic dust caps in the fuel tank, that would block the intake tube! Had the same filter on her now for over a month without issue. My filter budget is thankful!
