Theres a check valve between the secondary filter housing and line going to the head(allen screw behind the bleeder screw), but bingo about the rest.
Best way to prime c15 fuel system?

Here we go. The problem is bigger than I thought.
You will have to pressurize the tank to get fuel up to the primary filter.
Priming of the remaining system is still necessary after that. Do like suggested before.
TruckNorris Thanks this. -
Thanks everyone for the help, got it fired up. Topped off both filters. Pulled the fuel line off the primary filter and pressurised the tank, once fuel started flowing out the line we hooked it back up. Pulled the bleeder screw out and pumped into fuel came out steady, put it back in and hit the key. Kicked around for a bit but evened out and took off. Running smoothly now and letting it warm up to check for leaks in the cooling system. Thanks again everyone.

So the pressure regulator is at the secondary housing?
-
No presure reg is in the primary filter on the engine. Secondary is the water seperator on the frame rail .

Don't you have the two confused? I have a 1r-0749 on the motor. My primary is a Davco on the frame rail.

Your correct, fuel line runs from the tank to the separator on the frame, then to the pump, then the secondary filter on the motor.lilillill Thanks this.

I think the confusion may be in the definition of "primary " and "secondary".
I think some define "primary" as the "main" filter which is on the engine block.
Others, like me, define "primary" as the "first filter the fuel goes through".
Therefore, using that definition, the "secondary" filter would be the one on the block.lilillill Thanks this. -
Yes I define primary as the main filter the engine comes with .
And secondary as the the filter the oem adds onto the frame rail .lilillill Thanks this. -
Yes, when you put it this way your correct. When I first purchased my truck I didn't have a water separator, there for the one on my frame was primary in both regards
