Greg,
You may have a priming pump located on the vanity panel at the fuel fill. If so, about a gazillion strokes will fill the Davco after you change the filter.
If not, I always filled the filter from the top opening with new ATF. ATF only because I knew it was clean, and much easier than trying to transfer diesel into a smaller container.
Do use the drain on the bottom of the filter. It will keep you from making a diesel mess.
After you refill and crank, check around the clear base for bubbles. Bubbles indicate the square O ring is not sealed.
