4.3 efi have changed the fuel

4.3 efi have changed the fuel filter and am now having problems!
primed the filter by filling it up first however the fuel pump has not primed itself.
i cannot get it to prime by constantly cranking is there a special way to do it?
if i put some fuel down the carb it wiull run briefly so know it is only a priming problem! have checked all voltaged and thay are ok and pump sounds fine!
Any ideas greatly appreciated
