I used left-over Diesel Purge, since I'd just finished doing a purge. (On my VW I once used ATF.) After maybe a dozen strokes of the primer pump I had no more air coming out. Tightened the banjo bolt and the car started right up. I poured the diesel from the old filter into a jar and looked at it. It had so much crap floating in it I didn't even want to put it back in the tank, much less pour it into the new filter.
