When I changed the main fuel filter on the W116.120 (with leaky primer pump), I did it with the engine warm. I do not pour unfiltered fuel into the center of a filter before installing it, not ever. IPs are too expensive to fix. The car started right up, and started to stumble. I used the throttle to hold it at 2000-2500 rpm until it ran smoothly. As you say, not a problem unless you totally lose your prime.
