The primer pump is there to prime the filter, but it won't hurt to fill
the canister, either.
It takes a long time with that tiny pump -- and if it is the old slyle,
it is likely to start leaking when you operate it from dead rubber or
leather parts. Replace with the "thumb" style (sealed) as soon as
possible, they are inexpensive.
Change the filter with the engine hot, it starts easire.
Cranking will run the battery flat at least once, before it starts,
don't do that.

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?
