Fuel Filter replacement: now car won't start!

A couple days ago I replaced both fuel filters on my '82 300td. Screwed that new filter on, pumped the primer pump until diesel was squirting out all over and then it cranked, caught, died. Now it just cranks, cranks, and doesn't start. Is there something I didn't do with the filter that I should have on installation?

Also, the filter didn't come with a copper washer, which I'm reading about. Am I going to have a leak because of this?

Thanks for the help,

marshall
