When I changed the main fuel filter on my 92 300D, I filled it as best I
could, then crammed it into place and reattached everything.  The
maintenance manual said the system is self-priming.

Then, when I went to start it, it died after about 3 seconds, then damn near
drained the battery because I had to crank it for about a minute.  Even had
to jump start it with my other car.  It finally started and hasn't been a
problem since.

Is this duration of cranking after a filter change normal?
