w245 replacing fuel filter

[Drewpy]

Hi All,

I'm going to replace the diesel fuel filter on my B200 CDi and wondered if I need to prime the filter first before installing?

Also on the original filter, there is a little bracket to hold a multi plug, the new one doesn't have this. Is this an issue?

I've used Merc parts (filter kit)

thanks for reading

update, I just filled the filter with diesel and put the new O ring on the heater plug.
fired up straight away and was a 10 min job
