    The bleed valve on the filter housing is for draining water out, not air.

    The only proper way to do it and not put undue strain on the fuel pump is with a vacuum pump or priming bulb.

    Can i ask what the size of the fuel line is please? In your link it says 10mm but iv read somewhere else its 8mm. Iam going to fit a priming bulb but obviously want to order the right size. 

    Save doing it the way i did. Fill filter, blow into filter has hard as possible, fill filter again, repeat. Then just before reattaching the fuel inlet suck from tank till you taste it and attatch as quick as possible. 

    That worked for me lol
