On my boat the fuel prime pump pulls through the racor and is mainly for
priming the Secondary fuel filter. Since my Racor is about 1/2 the height of the
saddle tanks it gets filled as soon as I open the fuel feed line. (unless I
have less that 1/2 tank in the saddle tank). I open an air bleed on the
secondary and turn on the pump with a suitable bucket under the secondary filter.

i woudl guess that with other engines, you'd want send the pump output into
a jug till you have refilled the racor and get good flow, then follow the
normal bleeding procedure?
if you push fuel thru the racor, you're still going to push some air thru
the line anyway, even if you just crack the top of the racor to bleed air,
aren't you?
