Maybe I do not understand how the priming pump is plumbed. I thought it is in series with the lift pump. If true, fuel has to go from priming pump/lift pump to secondary fuel filter, then to IP. If the filter head banjo port is left open, supply pressure to pump cannot build.

Do you have a detailed diagram of the fuel system? It would really help me visualize how it is suppose to work.

Why won't the low side build pressure under this condition?
