what I do is unhook the return line, cap off the line going to the tank, and leave open the line leaving the filter... then hook a shop vac blowing into the fuel filler neck.
a few seconds later, fuel flows through the filters, and out the return hose... then hook it back to the return line, and voila! primed.
