I fill my secondary filter, not completely full, but close, with Power Service. I do occasionally spill some.
Don't know if it needs priming, but I give it a few pumps, starts without any hesitation. I have always oiled the rubber gasket, this is from years of replacing the oil filter on gassers. Been doing it for decades. Seems it doesn't matter, force of habit.

Agreed, if you don't have a filter on and pump the primer, fuel comes out of the hole on the bottom indicated by the arrows.

Il recently spent hours under the 83 GMC truck I had just bought trying to get a screw on oil filter that the previous owner (or his idiot mechanic) neglected to oil the rubber seal before putting it on. After using 3 different type oil filter wrenches, then the "screwdriver in the side of the filter" trick, only to have to completely tear away the body of the filter canister, and THEN tried to drive the base off with a punch in the holes of the base. None of it worked, so I ended up finding a tool online specifically made for removing the stuck base with a ratchet attached to it, which did the trick. I've always been told to lube the rubber of any filter before installing it, and always have (and now, always will). I would have never believed that a filter would stick so tightly that I would have to go through all that, but it is a reality. When it finally came off, you could see that it was indeed put on dry. Whether the guy cranked it down like a lug nut, I don't know, but after that one incident, and having to wait for days for that tool to come in the mail, I will ALWAYS oil the filter seal and I will NEVER tighten it more than hand tight. Lube that seal!

I've been reading a service manual for the Bosch MW pump published by International Harvester (they apparently used the MW in one of their creations). I thought of this thread when I read this section:

With a new filter....and filled with clean out of a can Diesel Purge.... I can not see that the ' not filter' fluid rule is being broken.
In that IH installation there may be other factors which make that the only practical way to fill the filter with clean fuel.

... before you dump fuel from the old filter into the new one... consider the secondary function of the filter... water separation... don't pour water into your new filter!
