Fuel line change question.

I'm thinking of changing my fuel lines to the vitons that I have had for a while now. After changing all the rubber lines. Do I just prime it with the pump next to the pre-filter just like I would after a fuel filter change? Or do I do something different? I looked at dieselgiants fuel line change page he doesn't say what to do after you put all the new hoses back on. I didn't see a DIY link for changing fuel lines here.

Thanks
Andrew

You only need to prime the system if you remove the spin-on fuel filter. Just crank up the car and it should start fine.
