The factsheets are in the members area, I think 3 different methods are described.

#-o sorry, not with it, I was referring to coolant, fuel should be self priming. I've just replaced a fuel filter, filled the new one with injector cleaner, carefully screwed it back on, started first turn.
I'd check you've got no leaks & the pick up in the tank isn't blocked as well as the fuel strainer & filter.
