Primer pump gushing fuel: safe to drive?

I just changed the fuel filters on my '84 300TD. It was easy and painless until I started working the primer pump. It filled the clear filter, then started gushing fuel (100% biodiesel) all over the place.

Is it safe to finish the job and drive the car until I get and install a new pump?
