Whether or not you have a primer pump, the answers should be yes and yes.
It should fill the filter on it's own, but you may have a dead battery first, or just adding a lot of wear and tear on your starter and battery if nothing else. It's always a good idea to fill the filter before you put it on. Personally I use ATF to fill it. Levi On 7/11/06, R A Bennell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
OK, I know this is pretty basic, but I plan to change the fuel filter in my 76 300D. I have not done this before so I am soliciting advice. I am advised that there is no primer pump on this model. Do I need to fill the canister with fuel or will it prime itself if I crank it long enough?
