"Installed new tanks on my MD1

"Installed new tanks on my MD11C Volvo Penta. Fuel line goes from tanks to a tank switch which is higher than both tanks, fuel filter and engine. From the switch it goes to the fuel filter and then the engine. I filled the filter with fuel, bled the lines (or so I thought) and started the engine.

How do I get the filter to stay filled with fuel?"
