Heading out to the garage to tackle the fuel filter. how do i prime it. i work my truck every day and i need it to run when im done. got the idea down and know how to change it but dont have the slightest on how to prime. havent taken the fender liner out to look yet but would like to know where to look.

Easy one. On top of the filter head is a primer button, and just inboard of that is a bleeder screw, 13mm head with a slot for a screwdriver, black plastic, after you get filter installed, crack open the bleeder and prime away, may take 30 pumps to get fuel out of bleeder screw, once you get fuel, tighten and prime another 10 pumps or so until primer gets hard to push, then start, done
