I wasn't smart enough to take the filter housing off before installing, so
despite filling it i sloshed enough diesel out of the filter to kill the
engine for a while. I'm not a smart man. I mean, who else would change
filters at 10 F?

Won't make a difference. If you loosened all of the glow plugs so the
engine cranked REALLY fast, that would speed up the priming, but that's
NOT

That's the funny thing. When I did it with the SD, it fired immediately,
then soon stumbled. I gave it throttle, and kept the revs up until
the stumbling quit.

I don't think it would make too much of a difference. You'll still be
cranking that volume of fuel
When I changed the big filter in my 300SD, I did it with the engine
warm, put nothing in the filter, restarted, and gave it enough throttle
to hold 2000rpm until it cleared up. Would this work with the 60x engines,
which supposedly self prime faster than the 617?

no, the air will just be injected to the cylinder anyways.

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
Sunil,
Yes, it's a scary-long-time to self-primepersonally I had no
problem with the manual pumpat least they were a lkot easier to
start after a filter change!!
Wait until you run out of fuel one time! It takes even longer!

I like to fill the filter, then take the old one off, then top-off the
new one as sometimes they soak up a little fuel. It will take a good
