I'm replacing fuel filter on my 200 EFI. Do I need to fill the new one up with gasoline before installing it?

I hope not. Cause if it needs to be filled, I have been doing it wrong.
I just spin it on then pump the primer bulb to fill it.
Hope you get an answer soon. I need to see the correct way too.
Never have had any problems with how I do it though.
Just spin it on and turn the key on without cranking for about 20 seconds or less and it will fill.
theres our answer Fish. Thanks . I suppose filling it won't hurt anything either.

-Lubricate the seal on the replacement filter with 2-4-C Grease (or Vaseline, if 2-4-C is not available)
-Spin the new filter on, and tighten.
-Connect the water in fuel sensor wire
-PUMP PRIMER BULB FIRM TO REFILL FILTER/SYSTEM
-Check for LEAKS
-Supply water, test run, and re-check for leaks.
