If you have this large type of fuel filter,stage 5,there is a electric lift pump in fuel tank,incorporated with the sender unit.
I've always bled them right up to fuel pump under bonnet by removing the pipe there,and bridging the electric pumps relay.
The alternative method is.........
Turning ignition on and off will run the fuel pump for a few seconds,and prime system.
If you look to the right of the cylinder head under bonnet,(RWD)you will find the fuel feed connection to pump,it has a tyre valve fitting with a dust cap on,pushing the centre will allow trapped air to purge.
So key it on and off a few times,or get someone else to do this while you push this till you get diesel.
(I've seen folk not bleed these, and just fire them up with fingers crossed that filter fills before engine runs out of fuel,with some success,I'd rather just bleed it and have done.)
