ImBroke,

I am a newbie to this diesel forum as well, but I had to change my fuel filters after about the first week. The mechanics at the dealer (where I bought the filters, because it stopped running on the street near my driveway, and I had to get it off the street ASAP) told me to fill the big filter with ATF fluid or diesel, and have a friend crank the engine while I was pumping the primer pump, until it would run. That is what I did, and it started up shortly, but I had to pump for a while.
