there should be a bleed nipple on the end of your fuel rail, push that in and will suck the fuel to the rail

all fuel rails you have to screw a cap off first then push it in after, it looks like a tyre valve

You don't need to fill the filter with petrol before fitting.
Have you fitted it the correct way round? Filter's are directinal.

You'd need to fit a pressure guage in the fuel line somewhere to test your fuel pressure.
