Just finished installing a Facet electric fuel pump using the instructional post from this forum. It was a follow up to installation of a fuel return kit, all to cure hard starting caused by alleged air intrusion. Should the fuel pump bowl be full? I noticed that when running it is ~ 2/3 full. Bled fuel filter using schrader valve until got solid stream. Still takes three cold start cranking periods to get her going, w/white smoke. Once started and cleared out, she runs great and when warm starts quickly. If I plug the block heater for an hour or so(regardless of outside temps) she starts quickly. All new GP,s (correct ones) installed in June. 168K on odometer. First diesel for me, so it's a learning experience....
