Your car has an OM602 engine, AFAIK it does not have a primer pump. I think it was Brian who suggested filling the new secondary filter only 3/4 full of fuel or whatever witch's brew you like. It's almost impossible to get a filter full of fuel into place without spilling. With the filter sitting in place and the top bolt removed, you can use a wooden wedge or other lever-like tool to push the filter up against the base.
Now use a small funnel to fill the filter the rest of the way and put the bolt in. Replace the o-rings if they look at all flat or worn, tighten the bolt not the filter, and don't over-tighten. With the filters full of fuel, the engine will start and run immediately. I find that keeping the engine speed up a little (1000-1500 RPM) helps to make sure the engine doesn't die on you until all of the remaining air bubbles are blown out.
