When I replaced mine I never filled it, just turn the key and let the pumps prime it for a wee minute (you'll hear the note change when its ready..about 10 secs)

Its very very very common on all ford diesels to not start after drawing air into fuelling system if the filter is not topped up first , a lot of places just pour the old diesel into the new filter ! I worked on transits a few years back and they were awful ! Rover of course is great just put the filter on and let it prime itself however one thing always lubricate the filter seal before fitting ! |

i warned him about the transit before he bought it,he is also getting a nasty noise from the diesel pump some part of it playing up,£700 to sort it out,happened a month after purchase,but there is a vehicle much,much worst my work van a isuzu powered astra most unrefined shed i have ever owned then again i do own a 75 so i suppose everything else would be struggle to be as good!
